Question

23. Hooke's law is applied to?
1.Bonded interaction
2.Non-bonded interaction
O
3.Electrostatic interaction
O
4.All of the above​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As the name implies non-bonded interactions act between atoms which are not linked by covalent bonds. Like most things this is simple to state but can be confusing to apply in practice! In most approaches then atoms which are involved in a bond angle are also not regarded as having a non-bonded interaction. 1-4 interactions (those between the end atoms involved in a dihedral angle) are sometimes given an additional scaled down nonbonded interaction. Similarly the interaction between a metal ion and its liganding atoms is usually regarded as non-bonded and treated by the kind of approach set out here but are sometimes represented by the bond and bond angle terms of the potential energy function (e.g., in representing the iron atom in the haem group found in globins).
