Chemistry & Biology of Bonds: Ionic, Covalent, Polar Molecules, Hydrogen Bonds - Prof. Bar, Study notes of Microbiology

A series of slides from a university biology lecture covering the topics of ionic and covalent bonds, polar molecules, and hydrogen bonds. The slides include learning outcomes, figures, and explanations of the concepts. Ionic bonds form between atoms when one atom loses an electron and the other gains it, forming oppositely charged ions. Covalent bonds form when two atoms share electrons, forming strong bonds and molecules. Polar molecules have unevenly distributed charges, allowing them to dissociate in water and act as solvents. Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds but form between polar molecules through hydrogen atoms bonded to more electronegative atoms.

  • Hydrogen bonds with

attractions between slightlypositive and slightly negative‘poles’ of polar molecules

  • Between water molecules• Between hydrogens and

Oxygens or Nitrogens– DNA– Proteins secondary structure

Hydrogen Bonds

  • Carbon skeleton.• Functional groups
    • responsible for most

of the chemicalproperties

  • The more C-H the

higher the potentialenergy

  • Oxidizing replaces C-

H with C-O or C=O

Respiration as aRedox Reaction

  • Food energy =

molecules with– Many or C-H bonds– Many electrons– = reduced carbon

atoms

  • In cells food

molecules oxidized– Electrons removed– Energy harvested
