What causes hydrogen bonding between water molecules

Biology
2 answers:
earnstyle [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer and explanation;

-The hydrogen bonding in water is a a result of partial negative charge on the oxygen of one molecule which forms a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogen of other molecules.

-When molecules of water are close to each other, their positive and negative regions are attracted to the oppositely-charged regions of nearby water molecules. This force of attraction is called a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule is hydrogen bonded to four others.

-This important property of hydrogen bond occurs in polar molecules such as water which contains weak, partial negative charge at one region of a molecule and also a partial positive charge elsewhere in the molecule.

Hydrogen bonding occurs between a hydrogenatom and an electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, fluorine, chlorine). The bond is weaker than an ionic bond or a covalent bond, but stronger thanvan der Waals forces (5 to 30 kJ/mol). A hydrogen bond is classified as a type of weak chemical bond.

Besides producing sugar for itself, a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradien
tino4ka555 [31]

Besides producing sugar for itself a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradients and potassium to make enzymes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plant sugar is glucose and plants produce it by the process of photosynthesis making use of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere and the presence of chlorophyll in its parts. Plants also require components other than this. Nitrogen is essential to make proteins and it cannot be directly absorbed from the atmosphere but has to be absorbed from the soil.

Potassium is an essential component which is absorbed from the soil. It facilitates the activation of enzymes which play a crucial role in plant metabolism.  When plants lack potassium they won’t have enough energy for proper growth and will have poorly formed roots and weak stems.
