Chemistry
1 answer:
stepladder [879]3 years ago
6 0
Lecithin is an emulsifier agent that's composed of 5 smaller molecules: phosphoric acid, choline, glycerol( is the backbone), and two fatty acids. 

The fatty acids, which are hydrophobic (afraid of water), makes this substance more similiar to fats and represent the non-polar part of the lecithin.
The phosphate group is the polar portion of the molecule and it's the negatively charged. The choline is positively charged, which readily dissolve in water<span>.

</span><span>Lecithin is a good emulsifier because of these structural features. the hydrophobic contacts with the oil, while the hydrophilic end contacts with the water.</span>

What are stars and galaxy made of?
goldfiish [28.3K]
What are stars made of? Basically, stars are big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. Our nearest star, the Sun, is so hot that the huge amount of hydrogen is undergoing a constant star-wide nuclear reaction, like in a hydrogen bomb.

In a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, the stars, gas, and dust are organized into a "bulge," a "disk" containing "spiral arms," and a "halo." Elliptical galaxies have a "bulge-shape" and a "halo," but do not have a "disk.
