Which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle? The bonds between the anions and cations are weak and therefore easily bro

ken. A strong repulsive force is created when cations suddenly align. They involve positive metal ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. They share electrons, which makes the bond brittle.

Well ionic compounds are brittle because similar charges repel, which causes them to break usually occurring when a force is applied, like a hammer strike.

Neither n2 nor o2 are greenhouse gases because
Katyanochek1 [597]

Neither N₂ or O₂ are greenhouses gases because they do not cause the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What are greenhouses gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere causing the temperature of the planet to rise.

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What is the greenhouse effect?</h3>

The greenhouse effect is the warming up of the planet due to greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases include

  • carbondioxide
  • methane
  • nitrous oxide and
  • water vapour

So, neither N₂ or O₂ are greenhouses gases because they do not cause the greenhouse effect.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

so 0.15 moles X 22.4 dm3/mole=3.36 dm3. Next we find the moles of hexane combusted, and then the moles of CO2. Finally, we find the volume of CO2 using the fact that at STP, 1 mole of gas = 22.4 dm3.

4. If the DNA nitrogen bases were TACCGGAT, how would the other half of
Elena L [17]

Answer:

<u>ATGGCCTA</u>

Explanation:

For this we have to keep in mind that we have a <u>specific relationship between the nitrogen bases</u>:

-) <u>When we have a T (thymine) we will have a bond with A (adenine) and viceversa</u>.

-) <u>When we have C (Cytosine) we will have a bond with G (Guanine) and viceversa</u>.

Therefore if we have: TACCGGAT. We have to put the corresponding nitrogen base, so:

TACCGGAT

<u>ATGGCCTA</u>

<u></u>

I hope it helps!
