How does the shape of a molecule affect its function

Chemistry

A molecule has a characteristic size and shape. The precise shape of a molecule is usually very important to its function in the living cell. Molecular shape is crucial in biology because it determines how biological molecules recognize and respond to one another with specificity.

My deepest apology if this is not what you meant.

Compounds with high melting points have _____
solong [7]

Answer:

C) Ionic bonds

Explanation:

The ionic bonds are the strongest bond, it occurs when a metal donates electrons and a nonmetal gain these electrons. They'll be together by electrostatic force.

Metallic bonds it the second strongest bond, it occurs between metals, which loses electrons. It's an electrostatic force, but weaker than the ionic compound because it occurs between the cation and the electron.

Covalent bonds are the weakest bond. It happens between metals and nonmetals, or nonmetals and hydrogen or between atoms of hydrogen. The force that joins the atoms depends on the polarity of the molecule. Polar molecules have dipole forces, nonpolar molecules, induced dipole forces. Also, hydrogen makes special dipole forces with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine, called hydrogen bond.

As the stronger is the force, as difficult it will be to break it. So, ionic bonds will demand more energy to become gas, and have high melting points.

1) Choose the correct statement from the options below.
Elena L [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

For 1: The correct answer is Option D.

For 2: The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

Polar molecules are defined as the of molecules, in which two atoms that combine must be of different element and therefore can create a dipole. For a dipole, there must be a difference in electronegativity and that is achieved when two atoms of different electronegativity combine. The negative dipole or charge is created on the electronegative atom and positive dipole or charge is created on the electropositive atom.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Non-polar molecules are defined as the molecules which are formed when two atoms of same element combine, so that a dipole cannot be created. When there is no dipole, there will be no difference in electronegativity and this is achieved when two atoms of same electronegativities combine.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
