What is the structure of hair?

Chemistry

Arturiano [62]3 years ago

The basic protein of hair is the keratin. Keratin is a fibrous protein which is insoluble in water. Fibrous proteins are long and narrow strands. Keratin molecules are held by hydrogen bonds, giving hair its structure.

Hydrogens bonds are easily broken and formed; [for example straightening curly hairs. Hydrogen bonds are broken when heated, hairs are straightened, the hydrogen bonds form again holding its stucture (straight) unless water is applied which disrupt the hydrogen bonds.]

Hope it helped!

A protective layer composed of overlapping cells, like fish scales or roof tiles, but facing downwards. The outer cuticle holds your hair in your hair follicle by means of a Velcro-like bond. It also minimizes the movement of water (moisture) in and out of the underlying cortex.

What happens to iron when it melts?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

B. It undergoes a physical change.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since we know that chemical changes lead to the formation of new atoms and/or compounds due to the bonds rearrangement of the initial substances and the physical changes occur without changing the composition of the initial substances, we can infer that, since melting is a process that changes the phase of matter from solid to liquid without changing the identity of the initial substance, the answer to this question would be B. It undergoes a physical change. because the other options describe chemical changes.

Best regards!

What nuclide undergoes fission to form molybdenum-103, atomic number 42, tin-131, atomic number 50, and two neutrons?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Pu, 234.

Explanation:

In the given case, let us consider the reactant as X. Now the mass number (balanced) on both the sides will be,

Mass of X = Mass of Molybdenum + Mass of Tin + Mass of neutrons

M = 1 * 103 + 1 * 131 + 2 * 0

M = 234

Now the atomic number (balanced) on both the sides,

Atomic number of X = Atomic number of Molybdenum + Atomic number of Tin + Atomic number of neutrons

A = 1*42 + 1*50 + 2*1

A = 94

The atomic number 94 is for the element Plutonium, whose symbol is Pu. Thus, the reactant is 234-Pu.

Urgent!!
madam [21]

Answer:

Harmony is correct, because Mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.

Explanation:

Mendeleev published periodic table.

Mendeleev also arranged the elements known at the time in order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his table much more successful.

Our answer is : Harmony is correct, because Mendeleev’s model made predictions that came true.
