A | B |
More energy is required to break covalent bonds than | noncovalent interactions |
Ionization | Strongly electronegative atoms capture electrons from other atoms |
The atom that loses electron is | cation |
The atom that gains electron is | anion |
The attraction between fully charged ions is | termed an ionic bond |
Hydrogen Bonding can occur between different molecules | or within the same molecule |
Attraction of partially charged hydrogen (δ+) to unpaired electrons of another atom | Hydrogen Bonding |
Hydrophilicity | Hydrogen bond interactions with water and polar compounds determine solubility of compound in water |
Hydrophobic Interactions | Adherence of nonpolar molecules with one another in an aqueous environment |
Van der Waals Forces | Attraction between electron clouds around atoms |
Van der Waals Forces increase as | atoms approach one another |
Importance of Weak Bonds | Participate in mediating complementarity interactions |
