Primary bonds: these are strong bonds, There are three types. These are ionic, covalent or metallic bonds.

The Bond Energy is much higher than in Secondary bonds.

Ionic bonds occur by a complete transfer of electrons. In table salt, NaCl (sodium chloride), Na (sodium) loses an electron and Cl (chlorine) gains that lost electron to create the bond. It forms an electrostatic bond, where the two particles are oppositely charged, Na+ and Cl-. Note: The arithmetic signs should be written in superscript.

In Covalent bonds the electrons are shared only and metallic bonds only exist in metals where there exists electron clouds allowing metals to be good conductors of electricity.

Secondary bonds: these are weak bonds. There are two types. These are van der Waals or hydrogen bonds.

Secondary bonding occurs due to forces produced by atomic or molecular dipoles.

The dipoles are produced by random fluctuation of the electrons around electrically symmetric atoms.

Another case of secondary bonding is caused when there exists a permanent dipole in a molecule due to an asymmetrical arrangement of positive and negative regions.

Molecules with a permanent dipole can either induce a dipole in adjacent electrically symmetrical molecules (and thus form a weak bond), or can form bonds with other permanent dipole molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is the stronger form of secondary bonding and is formed from polar molecular bonding. These form, for example, in water and hydrogen fluorides.

Many materials have different bond types within them.

Can you buy a bond after it has been sold out on the primary market?

Bonds are traded both in the primary market, which is the initial sale of the bonds, and in the secondary market, which is the sale of bonds subsequent to the initial sale by the issuer or underwriter.


What causes the secondary structure of protein to differ in length from the primary?

The primary structure is a one or two dimensional structure, whereas the secondary structure is a three dimensional structure in which different parts of the protein molecule bend and twist due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between atoms. This makes the secondary structure shorter than the primary structure.

What type of bonds cant be sold on the secondary market?

Bonds are traded between investors in the secondary market. However, unlike stocks, most bonds are not traded in the secondary market via exchanges. In the secondary market transactions, the bond does not have to be traded for its original issue price.


What are secondary markets and primary markets?

Primary markets are those consisting of investment banks which set the beginning price range for certain securities. Secondary markets are where the actual trading of shares, stocks, and bonds are done.

How do the differences in carbon bonds explain why graphite amd diamonds have differences?

Graphite has a layered structure: the bonds between carbon atoms are covalent and the bonds between layers are weak van der Waals bonds.Diamonds have a face centered cubic diamond lattice which is very rigid.Differences in structure explain differences of physical properties.


What is the difference between interchain and intrachain hydrogen bonds in the secondary structure of proteins?

IntrAchain H-bonds stabalize bonds between the same polypeptide chain (alpha-helices). IntErchain- H-bonds stablized between different polypeptide chain. (beta- structures)
