    I meant killing time, but hey whiteslice's ghost,

    describe how hydrogen bonding occurs
    between water molecules, and relate this,
    and other properties of water, to the roles of
    water in living organism

    Sad times :nothing:

    The H+ ions one one molecule are attracted to the lone pair on the O of another molecule, dunno the rest :cry:

    But I'm going now so I can revise for Economics, plus this is a Biology thread, not a Chemistry one!

    Yeah, probably right

    Tell that to OCR! This whole module is Biochemistry?

    Good Luck with economics

    Hey my schools weird... we do f212 in Jan and F211 in June :|

    Hey,

    No idea as yet because we're learning F212 to do in May/June.

    If you're doing the paper on Wednesday then this is the thread for you: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show....php?t=1820794

    Good luck!

    Because my school are odd They think it would be better to do the f212 exam in Jan because it's worth 50% so IF we want to retake then we can do it in June rather than our retake being in Jan lol
