13. Give the name of the following types of water molecules. No explanation needed. (3 pts each) (a) The water molecules around macromolecules that allow macromolecules to "interact with each other over distances of several nanometers without physically "touching" (b) The water molecules that are often found as part of the crystal structure ofa macromolecule (c) The water molecules in pure water (d) The water molecules interacting with ions. e) The water molecules surrounding an aggregate of hydrophobic molecules. (no simple name; describe these water molecules)

Explanation / Answer

(a) solvates

(b) hydrates

(c) deionized water

(d) ionized water
