S m y t h Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey Received May 18, 1955 A bond moment is a measure of the asymmetry of charge distribution in the bond and its immediate vicinity and is affected by the environment of the molecular section in question. The moment values, 0-2.0 X 1(R18, for typical covalent single bonds lie, for the most part, between zero and about 0.2 of the values which they would have if they were pure, undistorted ionic bonds, and those of coordinate single bonds, 3-4.5 X 10_18, lie between 0.35 and 0.65 of the undistorted ionic bond values. The lower limits, 2-4 X 10~IS, established for bonds between metallic and acidic elements in organometallic com pounds indicate polarities roughly intermediate between those of typically covalent and those of typically ionic bonds. The moments found for salt molecules, 6-20 X 10-18, are lowered by inductive distortion of the electronic shells below' those calculated for the undistorted ionic structures. The covalent single bond moments tend to increase roughly with increase in the electronegativity
