      The acceleration in the case of uniform circular motion is the change in the direction of the velocity, but not its magnitude. For an object traveling in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration ...The acceleration in the case of uniform circular motion is the change in the direction of the velocity, but not its magnitude. For an object traveling in a circular path, the centripetal acceleration is directly related to the square of the velocity of the object and inversely related to the radius of the circle. We first determine the velocity of the ball using the facts that the circumference of the circle is 2πr and the ball goes around exactly twice per second.

The diagram in the figure below shows an example of covalent bonds between two atoms of the same element, in this case two atoms of oxygen. A: The two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons, so two covalent bonds hold the oxygen molecule together. The shared electrons are attracted to both oxygen nuclei, and this force of attraction holds the two atoms together in the oxygen molecule.

The pressure of a column of fluid is proportional to the density of the fluid and to the height of the column of fluid above the level, P=ρgh. If you push the head of a nail against your skin and then push the point of the same nail against your skin with the same force, the point of the nail may pierce your skin while the head of the nail will not.

In the water molecule on the right in the figure above, each hydrogen atom shares a pair of electrons with the oxygen atom. A metallic bond is the force of attraction between a positive metal ion and the valence electrons that surround it—both its own valence electrons and those of other ions of the same metal.

The ...A pi bond (π bond) is a bond formed by the overlap of orbitals in a side-by-side fashion with the electron density concentrated above and below the plane of the nuclei of the bonding atoms. The pi bond is the "second" bond of the double bonds between the carbon atoms, and is shown as an elongated green lobe that extends both above and below the plane of the molecule.

There are also exceptions to the rules. You pay less tax if you are married and/or have children. There are certain limits on how much money you can make before paying taxes. The rule is that you pay taxes, but there are also exceptions based on your personal situation. The bonding rules for molecules are generally applicable, but there are some exceptions allowed.

The covalent bonds of covalent compounds are responsible for many of the properties of the compounds. A few rules can be applied to name simple covalent compounds: name the left-most element in the periodic table first, add -ide to the second named element, and use prefixes for the numbers of atoms.

(Credit: Joy Sheng; Source: CK-12 Foundation; License: CC BY-NC 3.0(opens in new window)) Intermolecular forces are nearly nonexistent in the gas state, and so the dispersion forces in chlorine and fluorine only become measurable as the temperature decreases and they condense into the liquid state.
