Analyze experiments that uncovered the nature of life.

Compare and contrast covalent, ionic and hydrogen bonds/interactions in an aqueous/cellular environment in terms of electron distribution and bond strength.

Contrast polar and nonpolar covalent bonding in terms of atoms’ electronegativity.

Apply understanding of water’s structural properties in order to predict its interactions with polar and non-polar molecules.

Ionic bonds are formed when two opposite charged ions (formed when atoms lose or gain electrons) encounter each other. These bonds can be viewed as “extreme polar covalent bonds” as one atom is in total control of the other’s electron(s). Why are ionic bonds so much weaker when they are in water?

A. Ionic compounds such as salts are hydrophilic, so they prefer to form bonds with water molecules over other compounds.
B. Water molecules readily form covalent bonds to charged particles and, as these bonds are stronger than ionic bonds, the ionic bonds are pulled apart.
C. Water molecules shorten the size of covalent bonds and this weakens ionic interactions.
D. Water molecules readily donate electrons and nullify the positively charged ions.
E. Polar water molecules can physically interfere with the polar (positive/ negative) charged attraction between ions and thus the ionic bonds are disrupted and weakened.

Monomeric molecules in the cell can be joined to form macromolecule polymers. An example of this is the linking of amino acids to form polypeptide chains.

9) What type of bond is formed between amino acids to form polypeptide chains?

a) hydrogen bond

b) nonpolar covalent bond

c) ionic bond

d) polar covalent bond

10) Which of the following properties make this bond the ideal choice for linking amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain?

a) it is nonpolar

b) it is polar

c) it is electrostatic

d) an enzyme is required to break this bond

e) it is reversible in water
