How does hydrogen bonds play a vital role for living beings to inhabit earth?

Answer 1

well the strong ionic bonds break to form salts ,water, CO2 ... when combined
the strong covalent bonds do break but with extreme heat lets say you put your hand over a fire do you want to melt ...
you see there must be a balance most covalantly bonded substances are usually unstable where as ionic usually form useful salts



the week forces are like in water for example < water is a polar solvent which means that the electrons are at diffrent points and that creates attractions...>
when you heat salt it doesnt melt easy but when you hit salt it breaks

everthing has a balance such as in the body the week forces allow essential processes in cells and the strong bonds such as when adp has a triphosphate bond and the bond is breaken to release energy

Answer 2

Water is a liquid at room temperature. All living beings on Earth survive with the help of liquid water. In the absence of hydrogen bonding within water, water would not exist in the liquid phase, and no life would exist on Earth.

Answer 3

Think of it this way. If we were made up of compounds formed by ionic bonds we would both be magnetic and wouldn't stick together the way we do. ionic bonds are formed be giving or taking electrons from another atom which doesn't involve making something compact like ourselves. When covalent bonds share they stick together and form something that is compact and together. they are building blocks of matter that create humans...plus we aren't made from metals. ionic bonds are formed between a nonmetal and metal while covalent bonds on the other hand are formed from 2 nonmetals.

Answer 4

Strong Covalent bonds link atoms to form a cell's molecules. Weak bonds can be broken down and can be made again easily.

Answer 5

Covalent bonds store energy. Living things need this energy to function.
Covalent bonds store energy.

Answer 6

Hydrogen bonds are so important for living things because of their relationship with water. The bonds allow water to stay in a liquid state, instead of becoming a gas.
