Answer:

Option D is the correct answer

Explanation:

There are three hydrogen bonds formed between Guanine and Cytosine base.  

The first hydrogen bond is formed between the oxygen atom on Carbon-6 (C-6) of guanine, and one of the hydrogen atoms attached to the Nitrogen atom (i.e the one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group) on the Carbon-4 (C-4)of the cytosine base.  

The second hydrogen bond is formed between the hydrogen atom on Nitrogen-1 (N-1) of the guanine base and Nitrogen-3 (N-3) of the cytosine base.

The third hydrogen bond exist between one of the hydrogen atoms in the amino group attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the guanine base, and the oxygen atom attached to the second Carbon (C-2) of the cytosine base.

topjm [15]

Answer:

a. alkyne

b. alkane

c. alkyne

d. alkene

Explanation:

The general formula for each class of compound is given below

Alkane: C_nH_{2n+2}

Alkene: C_nH_{2n}

Alkyne: C_nH_{2n-2} (assuming single multiple bonds)

Now let us classify according to the above formulas:

a. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

b. It has two hydrogen atoms more than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkane

c. It has two hydrogen atoms less than the two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkyne

d. It has hydrogen atoms two times of carbon atoms hence, it's alkene

Which statement best describes what makes a base weak
PtichkaEL [24]

The statement that describes what makes a base weak is that the base will be unable to dissociate completely in water.

<h3>What is a base?</h3>

A base is any of a class of generally water-soluble compounds, having bitter taste, that turn red litmus blue, and react with acids to form salts.

Bases usually dissociate into hydroxide ions (OH-) when in an aqueous solution.

However, a base is termed weak or strong depending on it's ability to dissociate completely. A weak base does not dissociate completely into hydroxide ions when in an aqueous solution.
