Answer:

C. Gene

Explanation:

   The gene is a segment of a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule responsible for genetically inherited traits. Each gene consists of a specific DNA sequence that contains a code (instructions) to produce a protein that performs a specific function in the body.

    Most genes are contained in chromosomes. The chromosome consists of a long strand of DNA wrapped around a special protein called histone. Most chromosomes contain several different genes. Human cells contain 23 pairs of chromosomes - one pair of sexual chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men) plus 22 pairs of nonsexual chromosomes called autosomes. Chromosomes are transmitted from parents to children through sperm and eggs. One chromosome from each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father.

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.

The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the <u>bond length and the bond order.</u>

Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0

Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) has three C-O partial double bonds. Bond order 1.5

Also, the bond length is <u>inversely proportional to the bond order and bond strength.</u>

Therefore, <u>order of C-O bond length:</u> Carbon monoxide<Carbon dioxide<Carbonate ion

<u>Order of C-O bond order</u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide

<u>Order of C-O bond strength or energy</u><u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide</u>
