-Larger molecules have hydrogen-bonding networks that contribute to specific, high-affinity binding.Smaller molecules such as urea can also form these networks.How many hydrogen bonds can urea (Figure 2-26) form if dissolved in water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urea can form a total of 6 hydrogen bonds when dissolved in water: two from each of the NH2 groups (acting as hydrogen bond donors) and two from the carbonyl oxygen (acting as a hydrogen bond acceptor).
