They are created through condensation reactions in which a molecule of water H 2 O is removed. The water is made by combining a hydroxyl group OH of one amino acid with a hydrogen from the amino group NH 2. The two amino acids then become linked by a new peptide bond and is called a dipeptide. Polypeptide chains are made up of amino acids linked together by these peptide bonds and this linear sequence forms the primary structure of a protein.
The formation of a peptide bond occurs during protein synthesis whereby which ribosomes consisting of one small subunit and one large subunit translate an mRNA sequence coding for the protein translation.
The peptide bond is a stable covalent bond and is said to be a rigid planar bond because it has a partial double bond character. The evidence that shows this partial double bond character is from the length of the bond. It is 0. However, rotation can occur around the bonds that link the alpha carbon to the nitrogen and carbon atoms, respectively. This text has been adapted from Openstax, Biology 2e, Chapter 3.

The outermost electrons are called valence electrons. So electrons can get attracted to other molecules and drag the rest of their molecule along with them to investigate. Like it enough and the 2 molecules might end up sharing a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.
They can even share 2 pairs to form a double bond or 3 for a triple. Another consequence of double bonding is that it prevents twisting. So, as a result, movement around a double bond is restricted. Another thing about electron-sharing is that. And in biochemistry it shows up a lot. And a lot of the time it shows up double-bonded to a carbon C.
Like how you could tape a spoon to anything and still albeit potentially with great difficulty scoop ice cream with it, whereas you could tape a fork to it and not have luck — but the fork would still have its fork-useful-ness. It's the smallest bit of that element that's still that element i.
Protons and neutrons hang out together in a dense central nucleus and electrons whizz around them in an "electron cloud. Atoms can give, take, and share electrons with one another to form bonds. It can give 1 to each of 4 other atoms to form 4 single bonds, or double or triple up to connect more strongly to fewer atoms.
When it forms a double bond, like in a carbonyl, that takes 2 electrons, so it still has 2 left.
