The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.

Give an example of a mutation and explain how it could affect an organism?<br> Your answer
ella [17]

Answer:

A mutation is a heritable change in the genetic material of an individual. The change can be large or small. Large changes involve the loss, addition, duplication, or rearrangement of whole chromosomes or chromosome segments. Mutations can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). When mutations occur they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.

Boron has an atomic mass of 10.811. What does this mean?
icang [17]

Answer:

Knowing that boron has an atomic mass of 10,811 means that all boron isotopes on average weigh 10,811 u.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom is the mass of the atom measured in u (unified atomic mass unit), although we can also express it as Da (Dalton's unit)

Atomic mass refers to the average mass that all isotopes of that element have.

When we speak of isotopes we are referring to the element itself but with a different number of neutrons, which makes it modify its mass number.

If you have 2.4L of SO2 gas (at STP) how many moles of sulfur dioxide do you have?
Andru [333]

Answer:

0.107 mole of SO2.

Explanation:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP).

With the above information, we can simply calculate the number of mole of SO2 that will occupy 2.4 L at STP.

This can be obtained as follow:

22.4 L contains 1 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 2.4 L will contain = 2.4/22.4 = 0.107 mole of SO2.

Therefore, 0.107 mole of SO2 is present in 2.4 L at STP.

What can you say about the strength of the intermolecular forces in neon and argon based on the critical points of Ne and Ar? (c
algol13

Explanation:

Since, it is given that critical temperature of Argon is 150.9 K and critical pressure of Argon is 48.0 atm.

It is known that gas phase of neon occurs at 50 K. As the boiling point of Ar is more than the boiling point of neon which means that there is strong intermolecular force of attraction between argon molecules as compared to neon molecules.

This is also because argon is larger in size. As a result, induced dipole-induced dipole forces leads to more strength in Ar as compared to Ne.
