Water molecular view

After a drop of ink is added to a beaker of water (left), the ink diffuses slowly through the liquid (center) until eventually the ink is distributed uniformly (right). The molecular views indicate that the motion of ink molecules and water molecules is responsible for this diffusion. Ink molecules (red-violet circles) and water molecules (blue circles) move about continually, even after they are well mixed. 

Atoms and molecules are always moving, even when no visible changes take place. In our ink example, ink molecules move randomly in all directions. As the molecular view in Figure 2-8c indicates, however, the total number of ink molecules and water molecules in any region of the liquid does not change once the molecules are evenly distributed. As a result, there is no further change in color. 

One of the most fundamental chemical reactions is the combination of a hydroxide ion (OH ) and a hydronium ion (H3 0+) to produce two molecules of water OH" (a g) + H3 (a g) 2 H2 O (/) A molecular view of this reaction (Figure 4-7f shows that the hydroxide anion accepts one hydrogen atom from the hydronium cation. Taking account of charges, it is a hydrogen cation (H ) that is transferred. The reaction occurs rapidly when H3 O and OH ions collide. The hydroxide anion accepts a hydrogen cation from the hydronium cation, forming two neutral water molecules. 

Any acid that undergoes quantitative reaction with water to produce hydronium ions and the appropriate anion is called a strong acid. Table gives the structures and formulas of six common strong acids, all of which are supplied commercially as concentrated aqueous solutions. These solutions are corrosive and normally are diluted for routine use in acid-base chemistry. At the concentrations normally used in the laboratory, a solution of any strong acid in water contains H3 O and anions that result from the loss of a proton. Example shows a molecular view of the proton transfer reaction of a strong acid.

In a solution of a weak acid, the major species are water molecules and the acid, HA. The products of the proton transfer reaction, H3 0+ and A, are present in smaller concentrations as minor species. Figure 17-5 provides a molecular view.

Finally, it was shown in various ways that it is the water librational motions that are important in the VET and that these involve coupled water molecular motions, since there is a significant contribution from non-IBI terms here. In view of the remarks above about the shape of the force spectrum itself differing in the absence and presence of the solute charges, and the validity of the IBI perspective in the absence of charges, the implication is that for the hypothetical no charge CC1 vibration at the same frequency, the librations would still be important for the VET, but they would involve only pair effects for the VET and would perforce interact significantly more feebly with the mode. 

If we choose the oxygen 2s orbital for bonding and leave the 2orbital nonbonding (from the symmetry point of view the opposite choice or a mixed orbital would do just as well actually if the two arbitals are close in energy, they mix), the MOs of the water molecule can be constructed as shown in Figure 6-18. These MOs are compared with the calculated contour diagrams of the water molecular orbitals in Figure 6-19.

From a molecular view, the decrease of entropy upon hydrophobic hydration is not mitigated by a large hydration enthalpy and this translates into an increase in the free energy of water. A system will tend to minimize this increase in free energy through association of the hydrophobic moieties. This phenomenon that explains the salting in of a neutral hydrophobic molecule by hydrophobic ions is expected to amplify with the sizes of the hydrophobic moieties [49]. Attractive forces between two hydrophobic ions and repulsive forces between hydrophilic and hydrophobic...

Now imagine a molecular view of the three states of water, as an example, and focus on just one molecule from each state. They look identical—bent, polar H—O—H molecules. In fact, the chemical behavior of the three states is identical because their molecules are held together by the same mrramolecular bonding forces. However, the physical behavior of the states differs greatly because the strengths of the mfe/rnolecular nonbonding forces differ greatly. 

There is a long history for us to recognize polymers. Let us start with the early evolution of our molecular views (Rupp 2005). As early as in the middle of 500 BC, the Greek philosopher Leucippus and his follower Democritus suggested that, an indivisible minimum substance called atoms constituted our world. Almost at the same time, Empedocles proposed that the world was formed by four elements, i.e., water, air, fire, and earth. Later on, Plato set up the Academy at Athens, inherited the atomic theory, and also advocated the four-element theory on the basis of the formal logic system of geometries.

M Figure 1.4 The three physical states of water are water vapor, liquid water, and ice. In this photo we see both the liquid and solid states of water. We cannot see water vapor. What we see when we look at steam or clouds is tiny droplets of liquid water dispersed in the atmosphere. The molecular views show that the molecules in the solid are arranged in a more orderly way than in the liquid. The molecules in the gas are much farther apart than those in the liquid or the solid. 

Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations reveal a detailed molecular view of electrolyte solutions and interfaces that goes far beyond simple continuum theories. This view has been started with studies of the air/water interface and is currently extended to more complex solid interfaces, colloidal systems, and back to biopolymer solutions, where the whole endeavor of ion specificity began with the classical studies of Franz Hofmeister. Quantum chemical simulations, which have the potential to give more reliable predictions of ion density profiles than classical force field simulations, become increasingly feasible with increasing computational resources [9].
