If it weren't for hydrogen bonds, water would not be a liquid at room temperature, and temperatures common on the earth. Instead it would be water vapor. Also, instead of the unusual property of solid water floating on liquid water, which preserves the lives of aquatic organisms under the ice, ice would be denser than liquid water and would freeze from the bottom up, killing most aquatic organisms.

Weak bonds forming a bridge between water molecules are called?
Adjacent water molecules are connected by the electrical attraction between the oxygen of one water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. This type of bonding is called hydrogen bonding.
What kind of bonds control the tertiary form of large molecules?
hydrogen bonds."Hydrogen bonds also play important roles in determining and maintaining the three-dimensional shapes of giant molecules such as DNA and proteins..." From the biology text "Life, the Science of Biology" by William Kirkwood Purves
How much hydrogen bonds are in hf?
There are no hydrogen bonds in HF.
What is the weakest bond type?
It is not covalent, because it is the strongest type. The Correct answer is van der Waals.
What distinguishes hydrogen bonds from covalent bonds?
Hydrogen bonds are betweem molecules and are weak forces.
Why are hydrogen bonds so so essential to the structure of DNA?
Hydrogen bonds hold the DNA bases together!
Why weak bonds are important to living organisms?
Weak bonding forces, such as hydrogen bonding are essential to living organism because these bonds can be broken and re-made fairly easily. The two strands of DNA are held together in a double helix by hydrogen bonds.

What element when combined with oxygen produces a compound essential to life?
Hydrogen
What chemical groups are hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds?
A hydrogen acceptors for hydrogen bonds is nitrogen.
What holdes the two strands of a DNA molecule to each other?
Hydrogen bonds
How are bonds between A-T and G-C different?
It is the hydrogen wich bonds between AT and GC the difference is in the number AT have 2 hydrogen bonds GC have 3 hydrogen bonds
What is a result of intermolecular forces out of covalent bonds hydrogen bonds electronegativity double bonds?
hydrogen bonds
