Question

In asparagins, determine the maximum number of hydrogen bonds that each O, N, or H atom can make to a water molecule. (Consider any intermolecular attraction between the asparagines molecule and water to be hydrogen bonds.) The uncharged oxygen atoms can make up to hydrogen bond(s) The negatively charged oxygen atom can make up to hydrogen bonds(s) The uncharged nitrogen atom can make up to hydrogen bonds(s). The positively charged nitrogen atom can make up to hydrogen bonds. Each hydrogen atom can make up to hydrogen bond(s).

Explanation / Answer

1) uncharged oxygen atom can make up to two hydrogen bonds

2) The negatively charged oxygen atom can make up to three hydrogen bonds

3) Uncharged nitrogen atom ---------------------one hydrogen bond

4) positively charged nitrogen-----------------zero hydrogen bonds

5) Each hydrogen atom can make ----------one hydrogen bond
