Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

Polymerization, in chemistry, is the chemical combination of monomeric units to form a polymer. Polymers are large molecules made up of smaller units called monomers. Amino acids are the monomeric units of proteins i.e. A protein is made up of of many amino acids joined together.

Therefore, the chemical combination of amino acids will form a peptide bond between the carbon atom of the acid group and nitrogen atom of the amine group in the structure of the amino acids. This is done by the loss of a water molecule. The continuous repetition of this polymerization process will form a chain called polypeptide, which is the PROTEIN.

What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances

belka [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope mass amu Relative abundance

1 77.9 14.4

2 81.9 14.3

3 85.9 71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = $\frac{14.4}{100}=0.144$

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = $\frac{14.3}{100}=0.143$

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = $\frac{71.3}{100}=0.713$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

$\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})$

$A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]$

$A=84.2amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

which of the following compounds exhibits dipole -dipole forces as its strongest attraction between molecules? o2,ch3Br,CCl4,He,

Archy [21]

Answer:

B. CH3Br

Explanation:

Dipole -Dipole interactions take place in polar molecules.

CH3Br exhibits dipole -dipole forces as its strongest attraction between molecules because it is a polar molecule due to the slightly negative dipole present on the Br molecule.

While O2 is a nonpolar molecule due to its linear structure, CCl4 has zero resultant dipole moment, Helium is non-polar and BrCH2CH2OH is a non polar compound having net dipole moment is zero.

Hence, the correct option is B. CH3Br.
