Question

Part A: Calculate the net force that thymine exerts on adenine. To keep the calculations fairly simple, yet reasonable, consider only the forces due to the O-H-N and the N-H-N combinations, assuming that these two combinations are parallel to each other. Remember, however, that in the O-H-N set, the O exerts a force on both the H+ and the N-, and likewise along the N-H-N set. B) Is the net force attractive or repulsive? C) Calculate the force on the electron in the hydrogen atom, which is 5.29x10^-2 nm from the proton. D) Compare the strength of the bonding force of the electron in the hydrogen with the bonding force of the adenine-thymine molecules.

Step 1

The forces are due to hydrogen bonding, specifically the O-H-N and N-H-N interactions. These involve electrostatic forces between the atoms. Show more…
