What is it when a water molecule is binding to another water molecule?

∙ 14y ago
Water molecules has the property of being a dipole, which practically means the oxygen atom has a greater attraction of the electrons that the hydrogen atoms. This results in making the oxygen atom fairly negativly charged, while the hydrogen fairly positive. This gives the water molecule one positive end, and one negativ end, and the ability to bind up with themselves, (+)end of one molecule to (-)end of another.
We call these bonds Hydrogen bonds.

∙ 14y agoI assume you are reffering to hydrogen bonding.
a water molecule has polarity indicated by delta positive or delta negative (d+, d-) where the oxygen atom is d- and the two hydrogens are d+. If for example you have two water molecules a hydrogen bond could form between a hydrogen of one atom and the oxygen of the other since the d- is attracted to the d+. Hydrogen bonds are relativly weak, however when many are combined this interaction between two substances can be very strong.

What must you remove to synthesize large biological molecules?
A molecule of water is removed with the binding of two monomers. For this reason, it is called a dehydration reaction.
In both liquid water and ice a hydrogen bond forms between .?
A hydrogen bond forms between the hydrogen(s) of one water molecule, and the oxygen molecule of another water molecule.
What is another name for a protonated water molecule?
hydronium ion
Is water a nonpolar molecule?
water is polar. That's why there's surface tension, because the positive side of one molecule is attracted to the negative side of another, so the molecules tend to stick together.
Why cant the hydrogen of a water molecule stick to a hydrogen of another molecule?
The hydrogen atoms in a water molecule have slight positive charges. Particles with like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other.
What factor affects the the change in temperature when a salt is dissolved in water?
The binding energy of the molecule compared to the binding energy of the ions it splits into when it is dissolved determines the change in heat of the water. The stronger a molecule is bound, the higher its binding energy and the more heat is needed to break it apart, which cools the water.
Is a desiccant another name for a water molecule?
To desiccate means to dry out. A desiccant absorbs water.
How does one molecule of water combine with another?
one molecule of water combines with another because it is polar covalent because it has lone pair and charge separation it unites with another molecule.
Is a water molecule more attracted to another water molecule or a sodium ion?
Adehesion
How does hydronium ion form?
when a water molecule gains an hydrogen ion from another water molecule
Which molecule covers the binding site?
Tropomysin
Which molecule has a binding site for calcium?
Troponin
Why does water and oil separate?
water is a polar molecule. so it doesn't attract to oil (another polar molecule)
What must you remove to synthesize large biological molecules?
A molecule of water is removed with the binding of two monomers. For this reason, it is called a dehydration reaction.
What causes water molecule to be attracted to one on another?
what causes water molecules to be attracteed to one another
One binding site on a ribosome holds an mRNA molecule and the other two binding?
tRNA molecules.
Is desiccant another name for water molecule?
No. A desiccant is something that absorbs water.
