When water breaks apart an ionic compound into cations and anions:

Chemistry
1 answer:
liq [111]3 years ago

Answer:
Dissociation

Explanation:
The molecule of water is polar. This means that the hydrogen has a partial positive charge while the oxygen has a partial negative charge.
Ionic compounds have equal number of positive and negative charges.
When these compounds are placed in water, the partial positive hydrogen starts to attract the negative ion of the ionic compound while the partial negative oxygen starts to attract the positive ion of the ionic compound.

This process is called dissociation and leads to the breaking of ionic compound into cations and anions in water.

Hope this helps :)

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is _____.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Uracil

Explanation:

The base that will NOT combine with 2-deoxyribose to form a nucleic acid is Uracil.

2-deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). It is devoid of oxygen in its 2' position. The bases found in DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine are also found in RNA (Ribonucleic acid). Thymine is not present in RNA, it is only found in DNA. The base found in RNA is Uracil which in turn is not present in DNA. The five carbon sugar present in RNA is ribose which combines with Uracil.

Cracking the periodic table code why aren't the elements listed in alphabetical order answer key
finlep [7]

The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.


For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.


You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.


You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.


So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
