The unique identity of amino acid is that each amino acid is bonded to each central atom known as R-group.

Explanation:

Amino acids are nothing but a basic structure which has a central atom called the "alpha carbon atom". This \alpha carbon atom is bonded to an "amino group" (NH_{2}), a "carboxyl group" (COOH) or a "hydrogen atom".

There are totally "20 types" of amino acids having a central atom bonded from the R-group. For example: When the R-group is hydrogen, then the amino acid is named glycine. Similarly, if it is attached to methyl group, then the amino acid is alanine. This makes the amino acids unique.

Biphenyl and benzene are common side products in this gringard reaction. explain at which points in the purification procedure t
mafiozo [28]

In Grignard reaction, Biphenyl and benzene are common side products which are removed during trituration.

In organic chemistry, a reaction in which the Grignard reagents or organometallic substances are added to organic compounds such as aldehydes and ketones to form alcohol is known as Grignard reaction.

These Grignard reagents are magnesium halides of alkyl, vinyl or allyl, which react with a carbonyl group to form alcohols.

During this reaction, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols are formed.

While Biphenyl and benzene are common side products.

These are removed during trituration process in which cold petroleum ether is added to dissolve the biphenyl and benzene side products

Describe porosity and how that affects groundwater infiltration.
algol13
It’s the measure of spaces between objects. It affects groundwater infiltration by having more water fill the spaces between it. For example, is you have bigger rocks the spaces between it are bigger therefore the groundwater infiltration rate is faster. If the rocks are smaller, they are tightly packed and it’s not easy for groundwater infiltration.
