Types of Chemical bonding
|
1)Covalent Bond
2) Non-cobalent bonds ***AKA weak forces, interactions ***Ionic bonds ***hydrogen bonds ***van der waals interaction ***hydrophobic interactions |
|
Covalent bond
|
Chemical bond that involves the shearing of electrons between 2 atoms
***primarily between H,C,O,N atoms |
|
Bond dissociation energy
|
The energy required to break a chemical bond
***related to bond stength ...length of the bond ***cobalent bonds are particularly strong bonds |
|
Non Covalent interactions
|
Why do these matter
*** H bond, ionic, hydrophobic and van der walls interactionare individually weak by collectively influence the 3D structure of proteins nucleic acids polysaccharides and lipids |
|
Hydrogen bonds
|
An electrostatic interaction between an electro negative atom and the hydrogen atom cobalently bonded to another electronegtive atom
|
|
electronegativity
|
measures the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself in a covalent bond
(rank of electronegative atoms H<C<N<O) |
|
Ionic bonds aka Salt bridges
|
Electostatic interactions between 2 atoms / molecules with formal charges (transfer of electrons)
|
|
Dielectric constant
|
The ability of the solbent to disrupt or shild the bond. The larger the number teh weaker the bond
|
|
Hydrophobic interactions
(not a bond) |
Describes the tendency of a nonpolar solute to come together when placed in a polor envroment
oildoes not mix with water |
|
Thermodynamics
Free energy and Deltal G |
1) Gibbs free energy
***The componet of the total energy of a system that can do work at a constant temp and pressure Delta G *** The change in free energy ***the amount of energy released (-delta G) or the absorbed (+ delta G) in a RXN at a constent temp and pressure |
|
Exergonic RXN
|
1) RXN w / -Delta G
2) RXN release free energy and are spontaneous |
|
Endergonic RXN
|
1) RXN w/ + delta G
2) RXN absorbs free energy and are nonspontanous |
|
Spontaneous RXN
|
A spontaneous RXN is one that given inital condition, will proceed in the direction of the production of products to reach equilibrum
|
|
What determines if a RXN is exergonic or endergonic
|
ΔG=ΔH-TΔS
|
|
ΔH----Enthalpy
|
A mesure of the heat content of a given molecule or system, the number and types of bonds
|
|
Exothermic RXN
|
1) RXN with -ΔH
2)RXN that increses the temp of suroundings |
|
Endothermic RXN
|
1)RXN with +ΔH
2)RXN that decreases the temp of the suroundings |
|
ΔS --- Entropy
|
Amesure of disorder and randomness
-ΔS = less disorder / more order +ΔS = more disorder / less oreder |
|
2nd law of thermodynamics
|
the entropy of the universe is increasing (+ΔS)
many cases processos tha have -ΔS, these cases we are only considering the system and on the systme plus its surroundings. |
|
H2O(l) ------> H2O(g)
|
-ΔG = exegonic RX (spontainous)
-ΔH = endothermic (breaking bonds) +ΔS = more disorder (more freedom of motion) |
|
Hydrophobic effect
|
non polar cneter and polar edge
|
|
Equilibrium
|
The point in a chemical RXN where the rate of forward RXN is equal to the rate of the reverse RXN
|
|
Keq
|
Concetration of products over reatents
|
