Can one atom in this type of reaction win the "tug of war"? What might happen if it did?

I'm assuming that when you mean "tug of war," you're referring to the pulling of electrons from both atoms in a chemical reaction.

Essentially, yes. If one atom is more strong (the real term is "more electronegative") than the other, it will be able to successfully pull the electron pair entirely from the other atom.

When this happens, one atom will become positive, and the other negative. Because of these opposite charges, the two atoms will attract towards each other, thus forming what is known as an "ionic bond."

Answer: YES

Explanation:

POLAR BONDS will form.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electrical dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

HELP FAST PLEASE! What is the limiting reactant if 43.4 g of NH3 react with 30 g of NO? The balanced equation is 4NH3 + 6NO --&g

givi [52]

The limiting reactant in the reaction is the NO molecule.

<h3>What is limiting reactant?</h3>

The limiting reactant is the reactant that is present in the least amount in the reaction. The rate of reaction depends on the limiting reactant.

Given the reaction; 4NH3 + 6NO --> 5N2 + 6H2O.

Number of moles of NH3 = 43.4 g/17 g/mol = 2.55 moles

Number of moles of NO = 30 g/30 g/mol = 1 mole

Now if 4 moles of NH3 reacts with 6 moles of NO

2.55 moles of NH3 reacts with 2.55 moles * 6 moles/ 4 moles

= 3.8 moles

Hence, the limiting reactant in this reaction is NO.

Suppose you had an organic molecule such as cystine, and you chemically removed the --nh2 group and replaced it with --cooh. Dra

Serggg [28]

Cystine is dimer of Cystein amino acid formed by oxidation reaction. Its main function is to provide mechanical strength to proteins and allow them to retain their 3-D structures and also serves as a substrate for the cystine-glutamate antiporter.

As shown in figure cystine has two amino groups (highlighted blue) and two carboxylic groups (highlighted green). In its original structure cystine is neutral in nature as it has equal number of basic (NH₂) and acidic (COOH) moieties along with two chiral centers (asymmetric carbons) highlighted with red spots.

When one -NH₂ group is replaced by -COOH group the cystine is converted into an acidic compound with three COOH groups and a NH₂ group. Also, one asymmetric carbon will convert into a symmetrical carbon with a loss of one chiral carbon.

In second step, when another NH₂ is replaced by COOH, the acidic strength of resulting compound will increase along with conversion of last chiral carbon into symmetric carbon.

Therefore, the final structure will be acidic in nature with zero chiral carbons as shown in figure attached below.
