Best Answer

Bond is an amount set by the court, in either cash or property, that is posted to ensure the arrestee/defendants appearance for court actions. Use of the word "FORFEITURE" implies that the court seized (i.e.- forfeited) the bond due to the fugitive's failing to abide by the provisions of their release on bond - usually fleeing the jurisdiction and becoming a fugitive, or by committing another crime and eluding capture.

Does a triple bond often result in a bent molecule?

A triple bond has one sigma bond, and 2 pi bonds. The two p orbitals are at right angles or orthogonal to each other. The triple bond would not cause a bend. But would allow the molecule to become LINEAR !!! This is why we cannot put a triple bond in a small ring such as 5 or even 6 carbons. Introducing linearity would cause much too much strain.

Is the person who hires a bail bondsman responsible for the whole bail amount if the defendant fails their obligation?

When a Bail Bond Company writes a bond, they are responsible for the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear. The indemnitor (person who gives collateral for the bond) is responsible to the extent that they will lose whatever they gave the bondsman for collateral if the bond is forfeited. That is why bond agencies try to find the defendant and bring him to jail before the bond forfeiture hearing, so they do not have to pay the courts the amount of the bond. Bond companies pay the courts in CASH regardless of what type of collateral was used for the bond.
