The physical state that best describes the scientist's sample is solid (option C).

<h3>What are the states of matter?</h3>

Matter refers to any substance that has mass and occupies space. The states of matter are as follows;

Solids; a substance in the fundamental state of matter that retains its size and shape without need of a container.
Gases; a matter in a state intermediate between liquid and plasma that can be contained only if it is fully surrounded by a solid
Liquids; substance that is flowing such as water; Liquids readily change their relative position, and which therefore retains no definite shape, except that determined by the containing receptacle.

According to this question, a scientist observed a sample of an unknown material to have molecules that are packed closely together and have fixed positions in space relative to each other. It has resistance to deformation and change of volume.

This description best fits the solid state of matter.

$3Ca^{2+}$ (aq) + $2P O_{4} ^{3-}$ (aq) ⇒ $Ca_{3} (P O_{4} )_{2} (s)$

The sum of total charges of the reactant = 3×(2+) + 2×(3-)
= 6 + (-6)

Which type of bond makes it possible for a macromolecule to interact with great specificity with just one out of the many thousa

Andrei [34K]

Answer:Non-covalent bonds

Explanation:

The Non-covalent bonds are bonds such as van der Waals forces of attraction, the Hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds and so on. The Non-covalent bonds are very important types of bonding in large biological molecules.

Just like the question says, the Non-covalent bonds, ''makes it possible for a macromolecule to interact with great specificity with just one out of the many thousands of different molecules present inside a cell".

Ionic bonding is also a Non-covalent bonding. They(Non-covalent bonds) helps in the stability of large macromolecules.
