Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A fatty acid is defined as a long chain of hydrocarbons that consists of a carboxylic group, that is, COOH group at the end of the chain.

General formula of a fatty acid is $R-(CH_{2})_{n}-COOH$ where n is mostly an even number in many cases.

Fatty acids are also known as aliphatic monocarboxylic acid.

For example, $C_{17}H_{35}COOH$ is the formula of stearic acid which is a fatty acid.

Thus, we can conclude that a long chain of hydrocarbon bonded to cooh is a fatty acid.

n a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the ________, while the antibonding

Kruka [31]

Answer:

In a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the valence band, while the antibonding orbitals that are completely empty are referred to as the conduction band.

The conduction band occupies a higher energy level than the valence band. The band gap is what separates the two orbitals.

How does activation energy affect a chemical reaction ?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.
