Hydrogen Oxygen Bonding Forces

The binding force of hydrogen and oxygen

If the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom are related, what is the force? There is a force of combining hydrogen and oxygen. The reason for this force is related to physical properties. If this is clear, it can be seen in the change of the state of matter and the principle of transformation.

The binding of hydrogen and oxygen is not for no reason. For hydrogen, there is only one electron outside the nucleus, and the sex is liked by the electron to form a stable state. For oxygen, there are six electrons in the outer layer, and the stable structure of the octet is full of two electrons. Therefore, the hydrogen atom forms a stable system with its lone electron and the lack of electrons in the oxygen atom.

One of the forces of this binding is the force of covalent bonds. Hydrogen and oxygen each produce electrons and share them to form a covalent bond. The covalent bond is like the two things of the rope, so that the hydrogen and oxygen are closely connected. The electron clouds between hydrogen and oxygen overlap, and the electrons travel between the nuclei of hydrogen and oxygen, so that the two are attracted to each other and cannot be maintained.

The second is the force of hydrogen bonding. Although slightly weaker than the covalent bond, it should not be underestimated. When hydrogen and oxygen are connected by a covalent bond, the nucleus of hydrogen is slightly positively charged because the electrons are biased towards oxygen, and the electron-rich oxygen atoms in adjacent molecules are slightly negatively charged. This positive and negative phase leads to a hydrogen bond. Although the force of hydrogen bonding is small, it has a huge impact on the properties of water. The boiling point of water is different from the common sense, causing water to have a higher surface tension, which is the work of hydrogen bonds.

Covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds complement each other and are the force of combining hydrogen and oxygen. This force maintains hydrogen and oxygen, making compounds such as water, which are indispensable to all things in the world, have great contributions to biochemistry in heaven and earth.
