Hydrogen bonds

Guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine <em>hydrogen bonds</em> hold the strands of a DNA helix together.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are the intermolecular forces responsible for base pairing and double helix stability in DNA.

The hydrogen bonds that bind the two strands of DNA are “weak” covalent bonds, meaning they easily denature, which means that they separate and reconnect very easily.

Regarding the nitrogenous bases of DNA, Adenine is paired with Thymine, forming the A-T base pair, and there is double hydrogen bonding between these bases. In the same way that guanine binds to cytosine and forms the base pair G-C by triple hydrogen bonding. And the two chains link through weak hydrogen bridges between the nitrogenous bases of nucleotides, responsible for maintaining the double helix structure of DNA.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:Twice a day, every day of the year, weather balloons are released simultaneously from almost 900 locations worldwide! This includes 92 released by the National Weather Service in the US and its territories. The balloon flights last for around 2 hours, can drift as far as 125 miles away, and rise up to over 100,000 ft.

Why does onions burn your eyes?
eimsori [14]

All onions contain chemicals called amino acids. One of the chemicals in the onion's amino acids is sulfur. When the onion's skin is cut it brings this sulfur into contact with special proteins, called enzymes (EN-zimes). A gas then forms, which can make your eyes burn if it comes in contact with them

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Explanation:

An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bonded that can release (dissociate) to yield a cation and anion in water.

Draw the Lewis structures of N2H4, N2H2, and N2.Draw the molecules by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The structures are shown below

Explanation:

To draw the Lewis structure, we must place the central atom with its valence electrons surrounded by the other atoms, with their valence electrons, then, using lines, we put the bonds (simple line for 1 pair sharing, a double line for 2 pairs sharing, and triple line for 3 pairs sharing).

For N₂H₄, the two nitrogens are bonded together and with two hydrogens, Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, and hydrogen 1 valence electron, so, 3 bonds will be done by nitrogen, so there will one lone pair in the structure for each nitrogen, and none for hydrogen. The structure is shown below.

For the N₂H₂, the nitrogens are bonded together, sharing two pairs of electrons, and are each one is bonded to a hydrogen, sharing one pair of electrons. Both nitrogen, then, has one lone pair of electron. The structure is shown below.

For the N₂, the two nitrogens are sharing three pairs of electrons, and both have one lone pair of electron. The structure is shown below.
