Class Bond

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, IBond, ICDKObject, IChemObject, IElectronContainer

public class Bond extends ElectronContainer implements IBond, Serializable, Cloneable
Implements the concept of a covalent bond between two or more atoms. A bond is considered to be a number of electrons connecting two or more of atoms. It should be noted that the majority of applications will consider 2-center bonds, especially since the bond orders currently supported are really only valid for 2-center bonds. However the code does support multi-center bonds, though the orders may not make sense at this point. In general code that assumes bonds are 2-centered can use this class seamlessly, as the semantics are identical to the older versions. Care shoud be exercised when using multi-center bonds using this class as the orders may not make sense.
