Explain why phosphorus has a low melting point.

Chemistry

Minchanka [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Phosphorus has a low melting point because the intramolecular forces holding it together is London Dispersion Forces.

Explanation:

London Dispersion Forces (LDF) are the weakest intramolecular forces. You don't need to break the covalent bonds, but rather the Van Der Waals' Forces. If LDF are the weakest forces, then the melting point is low.

What is the weight of dark matter​
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Knowing this, researchers from the University of Southern Denmark decided to investigate the size of these hypothetical hidden particles. According to the team, dark matter could weigh more than 10 billion billion (10^9) times more than a proton.

Explanation:

If this is true, a single dark matter particle could weigh about 1 microgram, which is about one-third the mass of a human cell (a typical human cell weighs about 3.5 micrograms), and right under the threshold for a particle to become a black hole.

Hemoglobin (Hb) can be viewed as having two quaternary states, a low oxygen affinity state (T), and a high oxygen affinity state
natta225 [31]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The statements that are True are;

  • Upon binding a molecule of oxygen, Hb undergoes a conformational change that makes the binding of subsequent O2 molecules easier.
  • The conformational change induced in Hb upon binding oxygen is the result of a small movement (0.2 Å) of the iron cation in the center of heme.
  • Site-directed mutagenesis studies have indicated that the cooperativity of O2 binding in Hb is attributable to the movement of the F helix in Hb.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Hemoglobin is a key pigment in the blood that transports oxygen gas to all the tissues in the body. It is made up of two types of chains; that is two alpha chains and two beta chains.  
  • in its deoxygenated state hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin. When oxygen is bound to the first subunit of hemoglobin it leads to subtle changes to the quaternary structure of the protein. This in turn makes it easier for a subsequent molecule of oxygen to bind to the next subunit.

When might a large volume of material have little mass
Natali5045456 [20]
A large volume of material will have a small amount of mass when the material in question is gaseous or porous, and therefore has a lot of space within it despite taking up a large amount of space overall.
