Heteratomic molecules

The bonding for oxygen atoms in heteratomic molecules is viewed as essentially covalent (see Covalent Bonds) (e.g. MeOH, Mc2C=0, MeCHO, and MeC(O)OOH) and similar to that for carbon, nitrogen, and chlorine atoms. In contrast, a Lewis acid base formahsm often is used for metal oxygen compounds with ionic interactions by dianionic 0x0 groups (e.g. [Ba2+ q2-], [Fe + (0 -) ] -, [Mn + (Q2-)4]-, and [(Cu+)20 ]). This results from the thermodynamic relations for ionic solution equihbria, and the inference that the combination of ions results in molecules and complexes held together by electrostatic interactions (equations 33 35). 

The velocity of sound in liquid thiazole was also measured, and the adiabatic compressibility was determined (302) it was concluded that intermolecular interactions result from the electrical forces, originating in the heteratoms, between the molecules. 

Let us assume, for the sake of simplicity, that there is only one heteratom in the molecule.)...
