3 0

Answer:

1=hydroxyl of phosphate

2=hydroxyl

Explanation:

Nucleic acid is the condensation polymer of nucleotide. Nucleotides are link together through ester bond. The hydroxyl group of phosphate on one nucleotide goes to condensation reaction with the hydroxyl group of another nucleotide. This is chain process, a large molecule of nucleic acid is formed. It is also called polynucleotide.

RNA and DNA are formed by the nucleic acid. The building block of nucleic acid made up of three chemicals.

  1. Pentose sugar
  2. Base
  3. Phosphate

Pentose sugar:

The sugars present in DNA and RNA is pentose. In DNA this sugar is deoxyribose while in case of RNA this is ribose sugar. The hydroxyl groups are present on these sugars. Ribose consist of four hydroxyl group while deoxyribose consist of three hyrdroxyl group. These react with phosphoric acid and carboxylic acid and form ester.

Base:

RNA and DNA are consist of four bases:

DNA= Adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine

RNA= Adenine, guanine, uracil, cytosine

Phosphate:

The inorganic acid H3PO4 is present. The hydroxyl group present on it undergoes the reaction with amines and alcohol to form amide and ester respectively.

Answer:

HCN < HOCl < HF  

Explanation:

The larger the Kₐ value, the stronger the acid.

6.2 × 10⁻¹⁰ < 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ < 6.3 × 10⁻⁴

   HCN      <     HOCl    <      HF

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *
gregori [183]

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:  

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for  ion will be:

For a principal quantum number n, how many atomic orbitals are possible?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The total number of orbitals for a given n value is n2.

Explanation:

For a hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is in an excited state.

A rectangular fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 60ft. Find the dimensions of the fence
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.
