The polar portion of a cholesterol molecule, which forms hydrogen bonds with the polar heads of neighboring phospholipids and glycolipids, consists of a hydroxyl group or -OH. From the name of the molecule, you can easily say that it should contain an hydroxyl group as it has an -ol in its name. Alcohol is a polar molecule so this part of cholesterol should be the polar portion. Cholesterol is a modified steroid and a lipid molecule. It is an important structural molecule of all cell membranes, maintaining fluidity and structural integrity. It is also a starting material for the synthesis of bile acid, vitamin D and steroid.<span />

Which of the following could happen when infrared radiation is absorbed by a molecule ?
Leto [7]

Answer:

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

Explanation:

Infrared Radiation:

IR is electromagnetic radiations. The wavelength i.e. 700nm to 1000 mm of infrared is longer than invisible light and Its frequency is lower than light, that's why it is invisible to light.

  • When IR radiation strike the molecule it absorbed by this molecule.
  • This radiation used to identify and study chemicals.
  • Infrared radiation interact with intra-bonds of the molecule.
  • Bonds in the molecules have vibrational translational and rotational movements
  • Due to these vibration, rotation and translation movement it absorb a radiation of specific frequency and wavelength
  • These movements of bond are very small and absorbs radiations of very low frequency
  • So when Infrared light or radiation absorbed the intra-bonds of the molecule get affected and angles of these bonds changes.
  • As the frequency of the absorbed radiation matches the frequency of the bond that vibrates.

So

The correct option is option E

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

* Note:

it couldn't be option A as the frequency of IR is not enough to rotate a whole molecule

It Couldn't be option B as IR rations are electromagnetic radiation of longer wave length so it one can not see it with light so how it will glow a molecule

It also not could be the option C as for the excitation of electrons require much higher energy.

It also not the option D as nuclear magnetic spin is associated with nuclear magnetic radiation that are much different from IR.

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

How many moles of oxygen would be needed to produce 84 moles of sulfur trioxide according to the following balanced chemical equ
olganol [36]

Answer:

126 moles

Explanation:

2S +3 o2=2so3

So if 2 moles of so3 required 3 moles of oxygen

. So 84 moles of so3 will require 84*3/2=126 moles of oxygen
