Chemical bonds resulting from the electrical attraction between opposite charges ( + & - ions)
|
Ionic Bonds
|
|
How are Ionic Bonds formed?
|
By the transfer of electrons from one another resulting in the atoms hel together by ionic bonds.
Ex: Na+ Cl- (criss cross applesauce) |
|
An atom that loses or gains an electron so it's a charged atom.
|
Ion
|
|
Are Ionic bonds stronger that Hydrogen bonds?
|
YES
|
|
Are Ionic bonds stronger than Covalent Bonds?
|
yes
|
|
Chemicals resulting from the sharing of electrons by atoms.
|
Covalent Bonds
|
|
How are Covalent Bonds formed?
|
By atoms SHARING electrons resulting in the atoms beiong held togther by covalrnt bonds.
|
|
An EQUAL sharing of electrons by the atoms forming the covalent bond. Electrical charge is EQUALLY distributed at both ends of the molecule.
|
NON polar covalent bond
|
|
NOT AN EQUAL SHARING of the electrons by the atoms forming the covalent bonds. So one end of the molecule has slight positive charge and the other end has a slight negative charge
|
POLAR covalent bond
|
|
Atoms share ONE pair of electrons
|
Single Covalent Bond
ex: C-H |
|
Atoms that share TWO pairs of electrons
|
Double Covalent Bond
Ex: O2 |
|
Atoms that share THREE pairs of electrons
|
Triple Covalent Bond
Ex: N2 |
|
A bond formed by the attraction of an H atom with a positive charge from one molecule to an atom with a negative charge on another molecule.
|
Hydrogen Bond
|
|
What is the Biological significance of hydrogen bonds?
|
Some of the properties of water which make it vital life are due to hydrogen bonds froming between water molecules, and between water and other moelcules.
|
|
The shape and function of proteins in hydrogen bonds are due to the extent of what?
|
Hydrogen bonds forming between various atoms in a molecule.
Also important in the structure of DNA. |
