In this approach they divide each mineral structure into a strongly bonded structural unit, usually anionic, and a more weakly bonded interstitial complex, composed of low-valence cations and water molecules, which provides the cationic component.
Gases consist of weakly bonded atoms with no long-range periodicity; gases expand to fill any available space.
The layers of carbon that make up graphite are weakly bonded (hence its adoption, in 1564, for pencils, which shed a visible trace when dragged across paper), so tape removes flakes of it readily.
Under certain conditions, weakly bonded clusters of molecules (such as an argon atom in association with a hydrogen chloride molecule) can exist; such delicately bonded species are called van der Waals molecules.
Many 1D weakly bonded solids are now known [14, 15].
Another line of objection comes from Berson (2008), who discusses the significance of very weakly bonded molecules.
With increasing humidity, the adsorbed water molecules are weakly bonded to SbSI surface in subsequent layers.
High desorption efficiencies recorded for DNc suggests that RhB was weakly bonded to DNc.
Discrete element simulations are used to model weakly bonded agglomerates as well as strongly bonded aggregates.
Strongly bonded fillers show higher flexural modulus since weakly bonded particles act as sources of inherent flaws provoking crack initiation.
C60 molecules were so weakly bonded to each other that the fibre was broken by electron beams.
