Hydrogen bonding
enthalpy?
how many times weeker than covalent?
distance of electronegative atoms? |
|
Definition
4-10 kj/mole
30-100 times weaker than covalent interactions
-total distance between the tow electronegativ atoms is ~0.27-0.30nm |

not bonds
. association of non-polar molecule or group with other non-polar molecules
.Depends upon the increased entropy (+delta S ) which occurs when water molecules surrounding a non-polar moelecule are freed to interact with each other in solution
.The cumulative effects of many hydrophobic interactions can have a significant effect on the stability of a macromolecule
.liberated H2O into bulk solution (entropic pay offf)...increases the randomness (entropy) |
