Document Summary

Components, usage, and how they are connect to each other. Between water and salts to form crystalline array. Explain why water is special using these terms: What is the conjugate acid and conjugate base of hso4. Name the 6 non-metallic elements that make up most of you. Nonpolar molecules aggregate together to remove as much interaction with water as possible. Water can destroy the ionic bonds between ions and surround them with hydration shells to prevent them from going back/interacting with one another again. Hydrogen bonding between other molecules attract each other and surface tension. It can make 4 bonds and those bonds are covalent which make them strong and stable. Functional groups on each acid have different properties = interact with each other/water differently. No monomers and polymers ph = 7. 8 ph = 4. 35 biochem page 1 ph = 4. 35 ph = 4. 965. Polypeptide chains folded together via disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonds.
