    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.
