What forces and bonds maintain the three dimensional folded shape of a protein molecule?
hydrogen bonds
What is the difference between molecular geometry and molecular structure?
Molecular geometry is the distances and angles between the each of the different atoms in the molecule. It is essentially the shape of the molecule.Molecular structure includes the shape of the molecule, but also much more, such as its electronic structure. This includes the nature of the bonding in the molecule (such as where there are single, double or triple bonds), the polarity of the molecule (if the electrons are spread out evenly throughout the molecule or if they are concentrated in particular areas, and if so, what areas), etc.
What does delocalized mean?
DelocalisedThe term 'delocalised' refers to an electron which is not 'attached' to a particular atom. For example, in metals, some of the outer electrons are delocalised and are free to move around the whole metal solid. This is why metals conduct electricity. Another example of delocalised electrons is in benzene (C6H6), a cyclic molecule composed of a ring of bonded carbons, with one hydrogen attached to each. In benzene, the electrons in the C-C pi-bonds (basically the double bonds) are delocalised the whole molecule. If you look at the location of these pi-bonding electrons, they are found evenly distributed in a ring around the entire molecule. In this case, the delocalisation can be explained by something called 'resonance forms.' Often, molecules with alternating double bonds show delocalised bonding.However, to truly understand the concept of delocalisation, some basic quantum mechanics must be used, and delocalised bonding in molecules is best explained by molecular orbital theory. In reality, all electrons are somewhat delocalised and are never associated with exactly one bond (in molecules with more than 2 atoms). Some are more localised than others (specific electrons stay mostly with specific bonds), while some are more delocalized (electrons are very free to move about many different bonds in the molecule)
Is carbon dioxide polar or non- polar?
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
HOW MUCH ENERGY IT TAKES TO ERASE ONE MOLECULE OF WATER ONE DEGREE?
A water molecule can be erased is the chemical bonds are destroyed. Although water is characterised as one oxygen atom attached to two hydrogen atoms, water molecules seldom exist in isolation: there are often clusters of four. This makes it much more difficult to calculate the amount of energy required to break the bonds and erase the water molecule from existence.
What bond is formed in methane?
Methane is a molecule with covalent bonds. Then again, there are different types of bonds. To be specific, Methane is a tetrahedral molecule with covalent long single bonds.
What forces and bonds maintain the three dimensional folded shape of a protein molecule?
hydrogen bonds
What are three types of bonds which hold together molecules?
There are several types of bonds that hold parts of a three-dimensional molecule together. One is a hydrogen bond, which is a weak bond that forms when a positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted to a strongly negatively charged ion. Another is a covalent bond, which is a strong bond formed when atoms share electron pairs.
How many bonds are necessary to form a ammonia?
There are three different covalent bonds in one molecule of ammonia
When does the shape of a molecule affect it's polarity?
when the molecule contains polar bonds
Why are there different ways of drawing covalent bonds?
One major reason is that the bonds are actually in three dimensional space, but most drawings utilize only two dimensions, and no two dimensional drawing can exactly and fully represent a three dimensional reality.
What are there bonds in a water molecule?
There are two covalent bonds present in a water molecule.
Numbering the carbon atoms in the DNA sugar deoxyribose helps to?
Describe the molecule and discuss where specific bonds form.
Are the bonds in a molecule of oxygen covalent?
Yes. By definition the bonds in any molecule are covalent
What does the cell get when it breaks the bonds of the glucose molecule?
when you break the bonds of the glucose molecule you get energy.

What molecule does not form bonds?
hydrogen bonds
