Carbon has four valence electrons. These electrons are associated for a specific atom and is responsible for forming a bond to different atoms. For carbon, in order to agree with the octet rule, it should have 4 more electrons. For an oxygen atom, there are 6 valence electrons present so it would need two more electrons. Thus, carbon atoms would share electrons with another two oxygen atoms wherein each oxygen atom would form double bonds with the carbon atom. So, the characteristics of these bonds would be that all of the four valence electrons of the carbon are being shared.

Answer: they will meet and make a biger wave then seperat

Explanation: When two or more waves meet, they interact with each other. The interaction of waves with other waves is called wave interference. Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Option C= A hydrogen bond formed between a polar side chain and a hydrophobic side chain.

Explanation:

All three given options a, b and d have common mechanism to accommodate the polar amino acid.

A= A hydrogen bond forms between two polar side chains.

B= A hydrogen bond from between a polar side chain and protein back bone.

D =  hydrogen bond form between polar side chains and a buried water molecules.

All these are use to accommodate the polar amino acid.

While option C is not used. which is:

A hydrogen bond formed between a polar side chain and a hydrophobic side chain.

PLEASE HELPPPP what characteristics of the bond you choose are persent in H2O.​
Andrej [43]
Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.
