Question

Your friend, a business major, overhears you talking about chemical energy and food and decides to develop a new super food for busy students that just don’t have time to cook but want to eat a well-balanced diet for a reasonable price. If your friend wants to design a meal bar that contains a high amount of potential energy that the body could use, how would you recommend they rank the possible atom interactions they could incorporate into the chemical formula? Rank from highest chemical energy to lowest.

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The response options are as follows:

I. C-O or C=O

II. C-C

III. C-H

IV. O-H

The answer is: IV>III>I>II

Explanation:

V) O-H is a hydrogen bridge. The hydrogen bridge is characterized by being similar to dipole-dipole bonds.

III) C-H is an ionic bond. The ionic bond occurs when they fuse together due to electron transfer.

I) C=O is a covalent bond. The covalent bond happens when two atoms bond together to create a molecule, sharing its electrons that are in its most superficial layer,

II) C-C is covalent bond.
