Difference between empircal formula and molecular formula​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nadya [2.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The empirical formula of a compound expresses a ratio between the numbers of atoms of different elements present in a molecule of the compound. This ratio is a mole ratio as well as a ratio between numbers of atoms. From the formula it is possible to calculate the percent composition of a compound, while, a chemical (or molecular) formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus and minus signs.

Classify each molecule as an aldehyde ketone or neither
ser-zykov [4K]
More information is needed to answer this question. Ketones are organic molecules that have the molecular structure RC(=O)R'. R and R' can be any kind of carbon containing structure. An aldehyde is another organic compound that has a functional group having the structure -COH. Both compounds are simple organic compounds. Ketones are widely used for industrial purposes.

1. The structural unit of nucleic acids are composed of repeating units of monomers called nucleotides. Nucelotides are composed of three functional groups: sugars which are specifically pentoses (5-Carbon sugars), phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

2. The two major classes of nucleic acids in the body are the DNA or deoxyribonucleic acids and RNA or ribonucleic acids.

3.
a. Based on the nitrogenous bases and sugar, the DNA has a deoxyribose as the sugar and its 4 bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. For RNA, the sugar is ribose while its 4 bases are <span>adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil

b. Based on the </span>general three-dimensional structure, DNA is a double stranded β-helix with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is composed of a shorter chain with a single strand α-helix structure.

c. Based on r<span>elative functions, the DNA is responsible for storing the genetic information while the RNA is responsible for transporting the genetic information to the ribosomes which synthesize proteins.</span>

Overlap of the electron clouds of two atoms results in a(n)
xxMikexx [17]

We know that the electron clouds of two atoms overlapping is a bond, because that signifies that the electrons are being shared in a bond.

So, I'm going to go through some definitions of these different types of bonds, because they have very specific circumstances.

<u>A hydrogen bond is a bond between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen molecule</u> (which is not what this question says, this isn't stated anywhere).

<u>A dipole is a difference in electron density on two different atoms</u> (so this isn't even close to what the question is stating, a dipole is not even a bond)

<u>An ionic bond is an </u><u><em>unequal sharing of electrons</em></u><u> between two atoms </u>(because the question doesn't state this specific fact, then it can't be this option).

By process of elimination, we know the answer is covalent bond, but just in case, we can also look at the definition of a covalent bond: <u>a bond that involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.</u>

That is exactly what the question is asking for! Therefore, your answer is d. covalent bond
