Catenation

Ability of an atom to form bonds with other atoms of the same element. This is common in carbon, which can form long chains and rings.

Electron Displacement

In chemistry, this refers to the movement of electrons within a molecule, affecting the distribution of electron density.

Inductive Effect

This is a type of electron displacement where electrons are shifted towards more electronegative atoms within a molecule, affecting the polarity of bonds.

Mesomeric/Resonance

Also known as resonance, this is a type of electron displacement where electrons are delocalized over multiple atoms in a molecule, creating resonance structures.
