Study Notes

Nonpolar Interactions and Unique Properties of Water

Weak interactions between nonpolar molecules are known as London dispersion forces.
Molecules exhibiting both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties are termed amphipathic molecules.
A Brønsted-Lowry acid is characterized by its ability to donate protons (H⁺ ions).
Water’s polarity allows it to effectively dissolve hydrophilic substances through hydrogen bonding.
Micelles form primarily due to the hydrophobic effect, where the hydrophobic tails of amphipathic molecules aggregate to avoid water.

Bonding and Electronegativity

The polarity of a bond depends on the difference in electronegativity between two atoms.
Polar covalent bonds involve the unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity.
Electronegativity is the measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a compound.
Molecule polarity is determined by the overall arrangement of polar bonds and their symmetry.
Bonds that fall between ionic and covalent bonds are considered polar covalent bonds, typically with electronegativity differences around 0.4 to 2.0.

Interactions and Solubility

Dipole-dipole interactions occur between molecules with permanent dipoles, one being positive and the other negative.
Ionic bonds, such as NaCl, are formed when oppositely charged ions are electrostatically attracted to each other.
Ion-dipole and dipole-dipole interactions enhance the solubility of ionic and polar compounds in water.
Ion-dipole interactions occur between solute ions and polar solvent molecules, facilitating solubility.

Acid-Base Chemistry and Buffer Systems

The strength of an acid is defined by its capacity to release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.
A weak base does not fully dissociate in aqueous solution.
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a solution to the ratio of the concentrations of an acid and its conjugate base.
Water's ionization constant (Kw) at 25°C quantifies the level of ionization in pure water.
To quantify hydrogen ion concentrations, techniques such as pH measurement are used.

Hydrogen Bonds and Biological Structures

Nonpolar interactions generally occur between species lacking formal charges.
A hydrogen bond is an attractive force involving a partially positive hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (O, N, or F).
Each water molecule can form four hydrogen bonds due to its tetrahedral geometry.
Hydrogen bonds significantly influence the physical properties of substances, including boiling points and solubility.
Biological molecules, like proteins and nucleic acids, utilize hydrogen bonds for structural stability.

pH, Acids, and Buffers

Adding 1.5 mL of 2.0 M HCl to 10.0 mL of water significantly reduces the pH.
The addition of HCl to a mixture of carbonic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate lowers the pH by shifting equilibrium and decreasing bicarbonate ion concentration.
Hydrogen bonds contribute to water's high boiling point and surface tension, influencing various biochemical processes.
In a buffer system, adding HCl results in a decrease in pH due to the protonation of bicarbonate ions to carbonic acid.

Amino Acids and Their Properties

Amino acids are distinguished by their unique side chains (R-groups), which define their identity.
Glycine is notable among amino acids for lacking a stereocenter, making it achiral.
In certain environments, D-isomers of amino acids can be more prevalent, particularly in some bacterial walls.
Amino acids contain both amino (NH₂) and carboxyl (COOH) functional groups, contributing to their classification.
Isoelectric points (pI) of amino acids indicate the pH at which they carry no net charge.

Peptide Bonds and Protein Structure

Peptide bonds form between the α-carboxyl group of one amino acid and the α-amino group of another.
Restriction of rotation around the peptide bond is due to partial double bond character from resonance.
The planarity of a peptide bond results from the overlap of p-orbitals, forming a rigid structure.
The four atoms involved in a peptide bond lie in a planar arrangement, contributing to the overall stability of protein structures.
