Biochemistry Flashcards
what are the types of intermolecular bonding
Forces of attraction
LDF
Dipole dipole
- hydrogen bonding
ion dipole
hydrophobic interaction
What are the types of Intramolecular bonding
Covalent
- polar covalen
-nonpolar covalent
Ionic
What is hydrophobic interaction intermolecular force
Non polar molecule
excludes water by spontaneously combining
ex oil
Examples of polar covalent bonds
4
OH
NH
SH
FH
HCl
Examples of Non polar covalent bonds
H2
CH
Diatomic
Define electronegativity
attraction of atoms for electrons
Polar bonds vs polar molecules
Polar Bonds - when one atom is more electronegative than another
Polar molecule - when one side has more electrons than another
molecule is asymmetrical
depends on shape of molecule
What must a molecule have to have hydrogen bond
Must have hydrogen
and oxygen, Nitrogen or fluorine
both molecules in hydrogen bonding need to follow those atom rules
How are hydrophobic interactions different than other forces of attraction
do not need energy
occur spontaneously
non polar molecules associate with each other, exclude polar molecules
What is ion dipole intermolecular force
occurs between ion and dipole
stronger than hydrogen bonding
What are the properties of water
8
High heat of fusion
high heat of vaporization
high specific heat capacity
low density solid
adhesion
cohesion
good solvent
Dissociation
Cohesion vs adhesion also importance in biology
Cohesion - water sticks to itself, surface tension
- Helps water move up tree
Adhesion - water sticks to other things
- water moves up tree against gravity
Why is water cohesive and adehesive
Cohesive - hydrogen bonding between other molecules
Adhesive - polarity of molecule causes other molecules to have dipoles
What is low density solid property also importance
when water is solid it has lower density
only type of matter than does that
When water freezes hydrogen keeps regular shape
Ice floats for polar bears
Insulates water underneath , leaves room for fish
What is high specific heat capacity and importance
Also what is it on heat graph
Amount of heat needed to increase the temp of what is relatively high
Steep slope = higher heat capacity
Water in body keeps us cool
regulate climate near bodies of water
keep temp nice for fish
