Example Of A Hydrogen Bond

Hydrogen bond example
The connection of human matter, there are hydrogen bonds as the important one. To observe the shape and quality of water, the effect of hydrogen bonds between molecules is very important. For water molecules, one oxygen forms a bond with dihydrogen, and the weak positive electricity of hydrogen attracts the weak negative electricity of the oxygen of the adjacent water molecule, so it forms a hydrogen bond. Although this bond is weaker than the covalent bond, it has a huge impact on the properties of water.

The boiling point and melting point of water are high, depending on the force of hydrogen bonds. If there is no such hydrogen bond, the boiling point of water must be much lower than today, below room temperature, or in a gaseous state, and it cannot be a large view of rivers, lakes and seas. And the surface tension of water is also strong due to hydrogen bonds. Insects can be on the water surface, and lotus leaves do not drip, which are all caused by hydrogen bonds.

Looking at biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, hydrogen bonds are also crucial. The secondary structure of proteins, alpha-helix and beta-fold, are all maintained by hydrogen bonds. The base pairing of nucleic acids is also connected by hydrogen bonds to ensure the accurate transmission of genetic information.

From this perspective, hydrogen bonds have an indelible effect on the stability of the state of matter and the order of biochemistry. Those who observe the nature of things and understand things must delve into their mysteries.
