| • | Water forms hydrogen bonds |
||||||||||
| with
itself and molecules dissolved |
|||||||||||
| in
it.When salts are dissolved in |
|||||||||||
| water
the ionic interactions are |
|||||||||||
| disrupted
NaCl in water becomes |
|||||||||||
| Na+ Cl-. |
|||||||||||
| • | Water
can have a power effect on |
||||||||||
| molecules
that are not soluble in it. |
|||||||||||
| These
are nonpolar molecules such |
|||||||||||
| as
hydrocarbons. Fats float on |
|||||||||||
| water. Some amino acids are polar |
|||||||||||
| and
other nonpolar. Proteins are |
|||||||||||
| made
of both and when dissolved |
|||||||||||
| in
water there 3D shape is partially |
|||||||||||
| determined
by this interaction. |
