Medical offices generally run a series of reports each day that are used to ensure that the accounts are balancing, and that no fraud or theft is occurring. This section will examine the reporting process that should be used daily in order to ensure balance within the practice accounts.
Hydrogen chloride is a diatomic molecule, consisting of a hydrogen atom H and a chlorine atom Cl connected by a covalent single bond. Since the chlorine atom is much more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, the covalent bond between the two atoms is quite polar. Consequently, the molecule has a large dipole moment with a negative partial charge Î´ â at the chlorine atom and a positive partial charge Î´ + at the hydrogen atom.
Hydrogen bond is the name given to the electrostatic interaction between the positive charge on a hydrogen atom and the negative charge on the oxygen atom of a neighboring molecule. The covalent bond is the electrostatic interaction between two atoms in the same molecule. Covalent bonds are much stronger than hydrogen bonds: the $\ce{O-H}$ has a strength of 467 kJ/mol, while the hydrogen bond is usually between 4 to 40 kJ/mol.
