Understanding Different Forms of Binding

Understanding Different Forms of BindingRegioselectivity and stereoselectivity are two forms of chemical binding, which occur in a wide variety of different chemical compositions. The chemistry tutor will be best suited to help you choose which ones you would like to learn more about.Regioselectivity is a kind of binding that occurs between two units that have almost exactly the same structure as one another. Chemists refer to this binding as 'monoaromatic' because it is the behavior of molecules that determines this term. Examples of monoaromatic molecules include water, alcohols, ethers, and chlorophylls. In one molecule of water, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms appear in a structure that is exactly the same as that of an ether, chlorophyll, or a fatty acid.Regioselectivity generally occurs because of differences in the relative concentrations of the reacting molecules. The position of the reacting molecules is critical to the binding ability of molecules and to the final state of th e molecule after they have been bound together.Stereoselectivity on the other hand has nothing to do with the relative amounts of the reacting molecules. It has to do with the relative positions of the reacting molecules.Stereoselectivity generally occurs because of differences in the relative concentrations of the reacting molecules. It also has to do with the properties of the molecules, because there are some types of solutes, such as water, which are not soluble at all. In water, for example, it is more difficult to separate them, so stereoselectivity results.Stereoselectivity can be studied in more detail in a study called molecular dynamics. For those who are interested in knowing more about stereoselectivity, the tutor can explain what happens when two different molecules have the same relative positions. Since stereoselectivity is a bonding phenomenon that depends on the position of the reacting molecules, and not the relative proportions of the reactive molecules, the tutor will also teach you about solute interactions and in particular molecules that occur in solvents.Regioselectivity is important because it allows the bond to be formed, allowing you to create chemical bonds and molecules. On the other hand, stereoselectivity means that the 'binding' will occur and that a new molecule is created by the formation of the bonded molecule, or to be more precise, a non-bonded molecule is formed. Stereoselectivity is the chemistry tutor's responsibility because it tells you that the molecules of which you are going to learn about are bound.
