How does the shape of a molecule affect its function

Chemistry
2 answers:
AlekseyPX4 years ago
8 0

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.

How many atoms are there in 2.43 g of calcium?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We're asked to calculate the number of atoms of

Ca

in

153

g Ca

.

What we must first do is convert the given mass of calcium to moles of calcium, using its molar mass (referring to a periodic table, this is

Look at this compound, why does magnesium has dative and covalent bonds with nitrogen? ...?
HACTEHA [7]
<span>The solid lines between N and Mg are actually ionic bonds. N has 5 valence electrons (2 of which are paired). Of the 3 that are unpaired, 2 are part of covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms. N accepts an extra electron to complete its octet, but gets a formal charge of -1. This allows for formation of an ionic bond with Mg, which is +2. Two of these charged N atoms therefore neutralize the charge of the central Mg. As for the coordinate (dative) covalent bonds, Mg has empty orbitals - the ionic bonds with the charged N atoms give it only 4/8 possible valence electrons.


The other two N atoms (dotted lines) have a formal charge of 0 since they form three covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms, but they still have a lone pair. Therefore, just to improve stability, each of these N atoms can "donate" its lone pair to Mg in order to complete its octet.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

The smallest ionic radius among the following. <br> Li<br> Mg<br> Na+<br> be+
dimaraw [331]
The correct answer is Be+

That is because it lost a single electron but still has the same number of protons, and thus the effective charge attracting each electron is greater, which in turn makes the radius even smaller

Write a net ionic equation to show how codeine, c18h21o3n, behaves as a base in water.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Actually, the ionic equation for this is a reversible equation since codeine is a weak base. Any weak base or weak acids do not completely dissociate which makes them a reversible process. The ionic equation for this case is:

<span>C18H21O3N  +  H3O+  </span><=> C18H21O3NH+ +  H2O

Explain how a heater warms the air in a room, including the words density, volume, and temperature in your explanation
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Convection currents are created when the air above your radiator heats and then cools and is then heated again. This process happens continuously whilst you have your heating on and the current moves the heat around the room making it nice and warm and toasty.
