Does Hydrolysis Break Hydrogen Bonds
The theory of whether hydrolysis destroys hydrogen bonds
There is a doubt about the relationship between hydrolysis and hydrogen bonds. The principle of hydrolysis is that substances dissolve in contact with water. In the case of water, H 2O O also interacts with other substances.
In the case of hydrogen bonds, non-chemical bonds, it is a weak interaction between molecules. Because hydrogen atoms are connected to electronegative atoms, they form a special attraction with electronegative large atoms of neighboring molecules.
When hydrolyzing, depending on the substance involved and the reaction situation. If the molecular structure of the substance changes during the hydrolysis process, or there is an external force (the effect of water) applied to the molecules, the hydrogen bond may be affected. For example, some organic compounds containing hydrogen bonds are hydrolyzed, and the intervention of water can change the distance and orientation between molecules, or cause hydrogen bonds to break. However, there are also situations where the hydrolysis reaction only acts on chemical bonds, and has little effect on hydrogen bonds. For example, some inorganic substances are simply ionic hydrolyzed, and hydrogen bonds are not damaged.
Therefore, whether hydrolysis breaks hydrogen bonds cannot be generalized. It can only be distinguished when various factors such as material characteristics, hydrolysis reaction mechanism and conditions are analyzed in detail.
