How do bonds form between water molecules?

The bond between water molecules is known as a hydrogen bond.


How are bonds between A-T and G-C different?

Bonds between A-T are hydrogen bonds, which form a two hydrogen bond pair, whereas bonds between G-C are also hydrogen bonds, but they form a three hydrogen bond pair. This difference in bond strength contributes to the stability of the DNA double helix structure.


What type of bonds does Ch3Oh have?

CH3OH, or methanol, has covalent bonds. Specifically, it contains polar covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen, carbon and hydrogen, and oxygen and hydrogen atoms. These bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.


When are the most hydrogen bonds likely to reform between water molecules in a lake?

The most hydrogen bonds are formed when temperatures on the lake drop to freezing. The molecules spread out and attract to each other in a dipole effect.


What kind of bonds are broken when HF vaporizes?

When HF vaporizes, the intermolecular bonds known as hydrogen bonds between HF molecules are broken. These hydrogen bonds are formed between the hydrogen atom of one HF molecule and the fluorine atom of another HF molecule due to the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and fluorine.


What are waters bonds?

Water has two main bonds: hydrogen bonds between other water molecules, and a covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen.


How many bonds hold the bases of C and G together?

Adenine and Thymine Guanine and Cytosine held together by hydrogen bonds: 2 for A-T and 3 for G-C
