Q

what are polar covalent bond and non-polar covalent bonds?

A

polar covalent bonds are bonds between two or more atoms that share the same electrons unequally because 1 atom is more electronegative than the other so it has more pull for the electrons. one side of bond is more negative and other is more positive.

non polar covalent bonds are bonds between two or more atoms that share the same electrons equally. no charges.

Q

why do non-polar molecules not dissolve in water

A

non-polar doesn’t dissolve in water because it doesn’t have dipoles to interact with water. hydrogen bonds are too strong to interfere with as well.

Q

why is water a universal solvent

A

water is very polar, meaning it has one negative end and another positive end which helps it dissolve things (positive and negative charges attract other pos/neg charges)

Q

what is the strongest bond and why

A

hydrogen bonds are the strongest because they have high electronegative difference which allows it to attract many electrons.

bc of the EN diff. where oxygen has high EN and hydrogen has low EN, O hogs the e- which results in a polar covalent bond with a neg end and a pos end.

active site prevents substrate binding due to conformational change so it binds to allosteric site

83

london dispersion forces

A

type of imf that exists in all molecules regardless of polarity, however it is the ONLY force in non-polar molecules. it is caused by electrons of a molecule being attracted to the nucleus of the other. this forms temporary/instantaneous dipoles

occurs in all polar molecules. Caused by the attraction of the δ + end of one molecule and δ - end of a neighbouring molecule
