The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule offers a novelty of water molecules. The most simple water molecule, H2O, is a fascinating but poorly understood molecule. Its unique ability to attract the water molecules. The crucial role of water molecules is described in this book. H-bonds before examining the dynamical properties, which can appear as centers of reactivity. Methods used to observe these components are also reviewed. In the second part of the book played by H-bond network developed by H2O molecules is examined. First in ice, where it sheds.
This book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of physics, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology. It can also serve as a teaching aid for students in chemical physics, chemistry or molecular biology. Engineers involved in the reading industry, as it were working in pharmaceutics, cosmetics and materials.
