I would say that La Nina is responsible for dry conditions in California and typically it is the year after La Nina that the dryness turns often to severe drought. Drought can be bad for agriculture requiring a lot more irrigation and posing a drain on water resources which decrease also during a drought,
Amino Acids undergo a kind of acid base reaction within a molecule. The
Amino group acts as a base and accepts proton from
Carboxylic functional group resulting in formation of
Ammonium with positive charge and a negative charge on
Carboxylate. Such molecules containing both positive and negative charges are called as
Zwittor Ions.
Phenylalanine both in Un-ionized and Ionized form is shown below,
The empirical formula is the simplest formula attainable while maintaining the ratio so it will be CH2.
Explanation:
The empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplistic positive integer ratio of atoms being in a compound. A simple example of this thought is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, would simply be SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S2O2.
Answer:
The correct option is e
Explanation:
Hydrogen bond is an intermolecular interaction/bonding that are formed between an electronegative atom (such as nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine) and a hydrogen atom. They are weak intermolecular bonds compared to covalent bonds but account for the high boiling point of water because of the strong hydrogen bond presence between the water molecules. Water molecules form hydrogen bonds between each other; since an oxygen atom (in a water molecule) has two lone pairs on it's outermost shell, it forms an hydrogen bond with two hydrogen atoms of other water molecule. Due to the fluidity of liquid water molecules, hydrogen bonds keep getting broken (although recreated/formed almost immediately), hence, individual hydrogen bonds in liquid water does not exist for long.
In the explanation above, it was stated that the strength of the hydrogen bond in water is the reason for it's high boiling point. The atoms in a water molecule are bent NOT linear hence the strength of hydrogen bond does not depend on the linearity of the atoms involved in the bond.
Answer:
quartz (SiO2)n
Explanation:
Melting point is defined as the temperature or point at which the substances change its state from solid to liquid.
Quartz (SiO2)n has high melting point than O2 because Quartz (SiO2)n is found in the form of hard, crystalline mineral that is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms having strong covalent bonds between all the atoms. So, a lot of energy is required to break the bond between the atoms and it has a high melting point.
Hence, the correct answer is quartz (SiO2)n.
