ION-DIPOLE INTERACTION
When an ion and a nearby polar molecule (dipole) attract each other, an ion- dipole force results. C:\Users\teacher\Desktop\Chemistry Simulations\soluble-salts_en.jar
HYDROGEN BOND
A special type of dipole-dipole force arises between molecules that have an H atom bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom with lone electron pairs.
EXERCISE:
Which among these three molecules will have the possibility of H-bonding? A. C2H6
B. C. CH3OH CH3CONH2
H-Bonding is very important in Biological Molecules especially in the three major biopolymers proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates.
AMINO ACIDS
Building blocks of proteins.
NUCLEIC ACIDS
CARBOHYDRATES (POLYSACCHARIDES)
DIPOLE-DIPOLE FORCES
When polar molecules lie near one another, as in liquids and solids, their partial charges act as tiny electric fields that orient them and give rise to dipole-dipole forces: the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.
For molecular compounds of approximately the same size and molar mass, the greater
the dipole moment, the greater the dipole-dipole forces between the molecules are, and so the more energy it takes to separate them.
ION-INDUCED DIPOLE
-An ions charge distorts the electron cloud of a nearby nonpolar molecule. -Example: Fe(2+) ion in hemoglobin and O2 in the bloodstream.
DIPOLE-INDUCED DIPOLE -Arise when a polar molecule distorts the electron cloud of a nearby non-polar molecule.
