The way a material behaves depends on how its atoms are arranged Ionic and Covalent Bonds Atoms will approach each other to form bonds, resulting in a lower energy structure Hydrogen bonds Structural models of molecules Atoms will bond together to reach an octet. Numerical relationships of elements and compounds and the mathematical proportions of reactants and products in chemical reactions. Molecules also differ in how their atoms are arranged.
Compounds can exhibit a property called chirality that can dramatically change reactivity.
Enzyme structure is described as Primary structure-just the sequence of amino acids in order. While at King's College in London Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin were doing experimental work. Franklin obtained information on the structure using x-rays. Watson, Crick and Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Rosalind Franklin died of ovarian cancer in 1958 at the age of 37.
