Which carbon atom has the most partial positive character?

1 answer:

4 0

A carbon atom would have a partial positive character if it is bonded with a much more electronegative element. The periodic trend for electronegativity is increasing as you go from right to left, and decreasing as you go down a group. Thus, a more electronegative element than carbon would either be nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine. Hence, bonds involving CN, CO and CF would have a partial positive character for carbon.

The name of the ion P3- is phosphoride ion. True False

melisa1 [442]

I believe that it would be false. The name of the ion P3- is not phosphoride ion but it is phosphide ion. The phosphide ion is P 3−, and phosphides of almost every metal in the periodic table are known. They exhibit a wide variety of chemical and physical properties. Hope this answers the question.

What are weak bonds that allow flexibility in an enzyme

34kurt

Enzymes are characterized to have weak bonds because their tertiary structure could easily bend and break because it will have to adjust to the shape of the substrate. It could be done via induced fitting or lock-and-key theory. These weak bonds are intermolecular forces like the London forces, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.

PLEASE HELP!! What is the concentration [H3O+] of a solution with a pH of 13.2? Is the solution acidic, basic, or neutral?

Ilya [14]

The concentration of [H3O+] will be 6.3 x $10^{-14}$ M

Mathematically, pH = -log [H+] or -log [H3O+]

With a pH of 13.2:

-log [H3O+] = 13.2

log [H3O+] = -13.2

[H3O+] = 6.3 x $10^{-14}$ M

Which of the following statements about the carbon cycle is NOT true?

nalin [4]

Answer:

Plants consume carbon through transpiration

Explanation:

In transpiration, plants lose water vapor through the stomata in their leaves. No carbon is involved in transpiration, which has an outbound direction. Nothing can be consumed through the stomata when vapor is going out of the plant. It´s like trying to get in through the exit.
