Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

I'm not positive what evaporations you need but I have these.....

1. Wind assists evaporation; for example in clothes dry faster under a fan.

2. Heat assists evaporation; for example, in summer clothes dry faster than in winter.

3. Increase in surface area exposed assists evaporation; for instance, a wet cloth spread out dries faster than when folded.

4. Dryness assists evaporation; for instance, clothes dry faster in summer than during the monsoon when the air is humid.

5. The rate of evaporation depends upon the nature of the liquid; for example, petrol evaporates faster than water.

6. Vapor pressure: if pressure is applied on the surface of a liquid, evaporation is hindered; consider, for example, the case of a pressure cooker.

What are the nitrogen bases that make up the DNA molecule and how do they pair up?
wariber [46]

There is a second nucleic acid in all cells called ribonucleic acid, or typically known as RNA. Like DNA, RNA is a polymer of nucleotides. Each of the nucleotides in RNA is made up of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group.

I really hope this helps, and I'm sorry if it doesn't It would be great if you posted the answer choices too.
