Chemistry
1 answer:
statuscvo [17]3 years ago

c. Isoleucine has a carbon “branched” closer to the alpha carbon than does leucine.

The structure of leucine is CH3CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH2CH(NH2)COOH.

The structure of isoleucine is CH3CH2CH(<u>CH3</u>)CH(NH2)COOH.

In leucine, the CH3 group is <em>two carbons away</em> <em>from</em> the α carbon; in isoleucine, the CH3 group is on the carbon <em>next to</em> the α carbon.

Thus, <em>isoleucine</em> has the closer branched carbon.

“One is charged, the other is not” is i<em>ncorrect</em>. Both compounds are uncharged.

“One has more H-bond acceptors than the other” is <em>incorrect</em>. Each acid has two H-bond acceptors — the N in the amino and the O in the carbonyl group.

“They have different numbers of carbon atoms” is <em>incorrec</em>t. They each contain six carbon atoms.

Which of the following molecules would exhibit only London forces?a)CH4, BH3, and CCl4b)H2O, NH3, and CCl4c)PH3, NH3, and CCl4
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

Explanation:

<u>London dispersion forces:- </u>

The bond for example, in the molecule is F-F, which is non-polar in nature because the two fluorine atoms have same electronegativity values.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule are induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces which are the weakest intermolecular force.

Out of the given options, H₂O , NH₃ exhibits hydrogen bonding which is:-

<u>Hydrogen bonding:- </u>

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus option B and C rules out.

<u>Hence, the correct option which represents the molecules which would exhibit only London forces is:- a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄</u>

Describe how/why earth is layer the way it is
Yuri [45]

Denser objects and substances experience a greater gravitational force acting upon their mass. This is why materials of different densities form layers. ... It is less dense than the Earth's crust, which is a solid. This is why the Earth's surface and atmosphere form distinct layers.

Place the following compounds in order of increasing vapor pressure. rubbing alcohol
adelina 88 [10]

Vapor pressure is the pressure which is exerted by the vapors of a liquid in equilibrium with the liquid. Vapor pressure depends on the boiling point; lower the boiling point higher will be the vapor pressure.

Based on the given compounds:

rubbing alcohol is polar and has the strongest intermolecular force of attraction followed by relatively polar ether and finally the non-polar propane.

The increasing order of boiling point will be:

propane < diethyl ether < rubbing alcohol

Thus, the increasing order of vapor pressure will be:

rubbing alcohol < diethyl ether < propane

Ans : F
