Why could covalent bonds not be used in place of non covalent bonds to mediate most of interactions with macromolecules?

because covalent bond involve sharing pair of electrons and non covalent bond involve more dispersed variations of elctromagnetic interactions which maintain the three dimensional structure of molecule

Maybe Van Der Waals interactions?
The formation of covalent bonds?
The formation of covalent bonds
Are ionic or covalent bonds stronger?
Covalent bonds.
Is a molecule held together by covalent bonds or ionic bonds?
covalent bonds
What type of bond is found in all biological macromolecules?
depends on the macromolecule. the broad category would be "covalent bonds" ... but there are sort of subcategories... like, proteins are joined with peptide bonds (which occur through dehydrogenation - removal of a water molecule) protein folding is also a function of hydrogen bonding. long chain polycarbons are just covalently bound (carbon-carbon bonds) could be double or single bonds depending on degree of saturation
What chemical bonds do these macromolecules have carbohydrate protein nucleic acid lipid?
covalent bonds
What are the different types pf covalenat bonds?
Covalent bonds types: in molecules, in molecular structures, in macromolecules.
What bond forms between units of a macromolecule?
Organic macromolecules have covalent bonds.
What type of chemical bond do you think would work best for building macromolecules?
Macromolecules are built by means of covalent bonds.
What type interactions are included in covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds are bonds which take place in chemistry and between atoms. Covalent bonds are bonds in which an electron from the outer valence shell of one atom is shared with the outer valence shell of another atom. There are several different types of interactions that result from this bond. Some of the interactions include agostic reactions, metal-to-metal reactions, and Pi bonding.
What are the non covalent bonds in graphite?
Van der Waals interactions
What type of bond holds all biological macromolecules together?
non polar covalent
Which macromolecules has peptide bonds?
proteins; they form a covalent bond with amino acids creating a peptide bond
What explains carbons ability to form many different macromolecules?
it can form 4 covalent bonds, so it can form single, double, and triple bonds and it readily bonds with itself.
How are lipids held together?
Lipids are one of the four major macromolecules but they are NOT true polymers because their individual lipid molecules are NOT connected by covalent bonds. Instead one lipid molecule is connected to another lipid molecule by hydrophobic interactions.
What properties explain carbon's ability to form many different macromolecules?
it can form 4 covalent bonds, so it can form single, double, and triple bonds and it readily bonds with itself.
