What are two different substances/mixtures that exhibit hydrogen bonding?
Give examples of two different substances/mixtures in nature or used in
your daily life (not examples given in class) that exhibit hydrogen
bonding. How does the function of the substance/mixture depend on its
ability to hydrogen bond? If the hydrogen bonds were actually covalent
bonds, how would this change affect the function of the
substance/mixture?
Bond best answer:
Answer by Soc the Poetic Chemist
water - if H--bonds were covalent bonds then this would be a network solid and hardly ever a liquid
DNA - the spiral is due to h-bonds - if these were covalent then DNA could not replicate nor express genes
