Noncovalent Bonds definitions Flashcards

Interactions between atoms due to full or partial charges, without electron sharing.

Strong interactions between charged particles, crucial in biological systems.

Weak interactions between molecules, not extensively covered in biology.

Strong electrostatic attractions between oppositely charged ions.

Attractive forces between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.

Chemical bonds involving the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Unequal distribution of electrons leading to slight positive or negative charges.

Complete transfer of electrons resulting in fully charged ions.

Forces holding atoms together in molecules, including covalent and noncovalent types.

Focuses on strong electrostatic interactions like ionic and hydrogen bonds.
