Answer:

The answer is B. Van der Waals forces are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds.

Explanation:

In general, if we arrange these molecular forces from the <u>strongest to weakest</u>, it would be like this:

<h3>Covalent bonds > Ionic bonds > Hydrogen bonds > Dipole-Dipole Interactions > Van der Waals forces</h3><h3 />

Covalent bonds are known to have the strongest and most stable bonds since they go deep and into the inter-molecular state. A diamond is an example of a compound with this characteristic bond.

Ionic bonds are the next strongest molecular bond following covalent bonds. This is due to the <u>protons and electrons causing an electro-static force</u> which results to the strong bonds. An example would be <em>Sodium Chloride (NaCl)</em>, which when separated is <em>Na⁺</em> and <em>Cl⁻</em>.

Van der Waals forces, also known as Dispersion forces, are the weakest type of molecular bonds. They are only formed through <u>residual molecular attractions when molecules pass by each other.</u> It doesn't even last long due to the <u>uneven electron dispersion</u>. It can be made <u>stronger by adding more electrons in the molecule</u>. This kind of molecular bonds appear in <em>non-polar molecules</em> such as <em>carbon dioxide</em>.

Answer:

Because liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.

Which class of enzymes catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds?
vodka [1.7K]

Lyases

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds.

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes the joining of C-C ( carbon to carbon), C-O (carbon to oxygen), and C-N (carbon to nitrogen) bonds by hydrolysis or oxidation. These bonds are usually held by the process of elimination which leads to the formation of new double bonds or cyclical molecules. Examples of lyases include; aldolase and adenylate cyclase.

In which sections or section of the kidney is the urine formed? what section of the kidney collects the urine? how does the urin
torisob [31]

In which sections or section of the kidney is the urine formed? 

The final product of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion which is the urine is primarily formed in the renal medulla although the formation of the urine starts with the filtration of blood in the glomerulus then along the proximal tubules, descending and ascending loop of Henle, distal tubules, and collecting ducts. 


What section of the kidney collects the urine? 

The renal pelvis is the main section of the kidney that collects the urine. The renal pelvis arises from the confluence of the collecting ducts forming the renal papilla then the minor calyx and the major calyx and ultimately to the renal pelvis to be transported to the urinary bladder through the ureters.


How does the urine move from the kidney out of the body? 

The urine will be collected in the renal pelvis. With the urine collected in the renal pelvis, the urine moves from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder through the ureters and will be stored in the urinary bladder. When there is an urge to urinate, the urinary bladder contracts and the urethral sphincter relaxes that allows passage of the urine from the bladder out of the body through the urethra.


In which main regions of the kidney are the glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule located? 

The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are part of the renal cortex. These organs are responsible for the filtration of the blood from the afferent arteriole. The glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule are not synonymous but rather the glomerulus comes from the afferent arteriole and the Bowman’s capsule functions as a filtration membrane. Together, they are called the renal corpuscle.


In which main regions of the kidney are the collecting ducts and the loop of Henle located?

The collecting ducts are located in the renal medulla whereas the loop of Henle are partly in the medulla, depending on the type of nephron. In superficial cortical nephrons, the dips only up to the outer medulla while in the juxtamedullary nephrons, the glomerulus is near the corticomedullary border wherein more parts of the loop of Henle is in the medulla.

How do the plates and Mantle interact at each type of plate boundary
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. ... At convergent boundaries, plates collide with one another.
