Why do you think that most textbooks do not consider a hydrogen bond to be an example of a van der Waals force?
How does the bond energy of a double bond compare to that of two single bonds between the same elements? How does this relationship explain the types of reactions that compounds with double bonds undergo?
Under what circumstances can weak forces such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play significant roles in biological systems?

- Which element has only one proton?arrow_forwardThe “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)arrow_forwardApply the formula for the differences in electronegativities, for the following molecules, and define whether they are polar covalent, nonpolar covalent or ionic. Taking into account that: Non-polar covalent: greater than or equal to 0 but less than 0.7 Polar covalent: greater than or equal to 0.7 but less than 1.7 ionic: greater than 1.7 A)NO B)KCI C)F2 C)AsOarrow_forward
- Atoms A and B interact to form a compound, AB2. When measured, atom A has a partial negative charge and atom B has a partial positive charge. From this information, we can conclude what? Select only ONE answer choice. Note: - means "approximately equal to" , A > B means "A is greater than B" , and A B: AB2 is hydrophilic Not enough information to answer the questionarrow_forwardStudy figure 3.18 in the textbook. See if you can understand why some R groups are nonpolar, some polar, and others electrically charged (acidic or basic). If you were given an R group, could you place it in the correct group? Work on the R groups until you can see common elements in each category.arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: In a beaker of water, the water-water bonds can properly be called (a) ionic bonds, (b) polar covalent bonds, (c) nonpolar covalent bonds, (d) hydrogen bonds.arrow_forward

Explain eachanswerarrow_forwardWhen hydrogen covalently bonds to carbon it creates a nonpolar bond. However, when hydrogen covalently bonds to oxygen it creates a polar bond. What is a polar covalent bond, and why does it occur between hydrogen and oxygen, but not hydrogen and carbon?arrow_forwardWhat three things constitute the ocean (Hint: one of them is water)?
