Study Notes
Bonding Types
- Non-polar bonds occur even with different atoms, often found in regions rich in carbon and hydrogen without electronegative atoms (N, O, F).
- Coordinate covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons where one atom (ligand) donates a lone pair to bond with a transition metal ion, often seen in biological contexts.
- Transition metals commonly bond with ligands that possess lone pairs, essential for molecular structures like hemoglobin.
Covalent vs Ionic Bonding
- Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between non-metals, while ionic bonding typically involves metals and non-metals forming cations and anions.
- Polar covalent bonds arise from differences in electronegativity, leading to partial positive and negative charges. Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
- Non-polar covalent bonds occur between identical atoms or similar non-metals, such as carbon and hydrogen.
Molecular vs Ionic Compounds
- Molecular compounds consist of non-metals and can exist as individual molecules (e.g., carbon dioxide), while ionic compounds form large crystalline structures and do not exist as independent molecules.
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an example of an ionic compound, while carbon dioxide is a molecular compound.
Intermolecular Forces
- Three main types of intermolecular forces relevant to biological contexts: hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.
- Hydrogen bonds are strong dipole-dipole interactions involving hydrogen covalently bonded to either fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen.
- Dipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules due to interactions between their partial positive and negative charges, weaker than both ionic and covalent bonds.
Biological Significance
- Hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in stabilizing the structure of proteins and nucleic acids, such as DNA, where it holds the two strands of the helix together.
- Water, essential for life, exhibits extensive hydrogen bonding due to its hydroxyl (OH) groups, facilitating various biochemical processes.
- Understanding these bonding types and intermolecular forces is fundamental to grasping the chemical behavior of biological molecules.
