Document Summary

Electronegativity: measure of a tendency of an atom to attract electrons. Measure this by using the pauling scale" [0. 7-4. 0] Pauling scale: power of an atom w/n a molecule to attract electrons/ 2 types of chemical bond: polar and nonpolar. Non polar covalent differences in electronegativity b/n atoms. Polar covalent bonds: unequal sharing of electrons based on differences in electronegativity. Hydrogen bonds: set up of a very weak partial charges b/n adjacent molecules. Bonds between nucleic acid [a, t, c, g] Bonds that are formed between atoms with very different electronegativity atoms steals electrons. Tiny, 3 atom molecule # of amazing properties. We theorize that life will be focused in area or on planets where we observe the temp range that allows for liquid water. Exobiology: search for planets that may house life. Properties of water: h2o is cohesive and adhesive, cohesion: h20 molecules are going to be sticky . Water strider: walk on h2o (due to sticky nature of water).
