BOND (Building Object Network Databases) started development in late 2000 as a rapid application development tool for the GNOME Desktop by Treshna Enterprises. Its aim was to fill a gap that traditional Microsoft Windows applications like Borland Delphi, Microsoft Access and Visual Basic filled on the Windows desktop, but targeted for the Linux environment. Its goal was to allow developers to quickly build database forms in XML for backend SQL databases. It has been employed extensively by Treshna Enterprises to develop applications such as PayMaster (an opensource payroll application) and GymMaster (a commercial gym management application).

James Bond and Dr. No are engaged in fisticuffs on a board overhanging a pool. Dr. No now pulls out his weapon. oh no!. Bond is in trouble again. Bond quickly calculates the torques and leaps off the left end of the board leaving Dr. No on the right. Is Bond safe? That is...
As i know chemical bonding can be considered as a spectrum of bond ranging from covalent to ionic. Now can we say that ionic bond is harder than covalent bond?? Since covalent bond is a result of attractive n repulsive bt ionic only attractive .
If it does, instead of bond length factor, HF...
For metals for instance, is the metallic bond that determines the crystal structure(i.e. FCC (face centered cubic), HCP (hexagonal close packed)) or is the crystal structure that determines the type of bond?
In other words, if someone were to ask me what kind of bond an element with an FCC...
In the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Silicon-tetrafluoride-2D-dimensions.png
the bonds are represented pictorially in different ways(like the black triangle). Do these just show the physical structure of the bonds or do they show the different types of bonds?
Hello,
How can I calculate the bond dissociation energy for K+Br- when I only know the the length of the bond?
Equation D0 = De - 0.5hω does not help because I do not know ω and De. ω is the vibrational frequency of the bond.
Thank you for your advice beforehand.
