Describe how nucleic acid basis pair up

1 answer:

7 0

The rules of base pairing (or nucleotide pairing) are: A with T: the purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) C with G: the pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)

The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pair forms two hydrogen bonds. The C-G pair forms three. The hydrogen bonding between complementary bases holds the two strands of DNA together.

There are ________ σ bonds and ________ π bonds in h3c-ch2-ch=ch-ch2-c≡ch.

The number of sigma and pi bonds are,

Sigma Bonds = 16

Pi Bonds = 3

Explanation:
Every first bond formed between two atoms is sigma. Pi bond is formed when already a sigma bond is there. While in case of Alkyne (triple Bond) there is one sigma and one pi bond already present, so the third bond is formed by second side-to-side overlap of orbitals, hence, a second pi bond is formed.
Below all black bonds are sigma bonds, while in alkene there is one pi bond and in alkyne there are two pi bonds.

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a chemical compound.

To find the empirical formula, we take the following steps;

Divide the percentage by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass.
Divide the quotient of each by the lowest value obtained instep 1 above
Write the result of step 2 above as the subscript following each atom.

1) O - 88.10/16, H - 11.190/1

O - 5.5, H - 11.19

O - 5.5/5.5, H - 11.19/5.5

O - 1, H - 2

Empirical formula = OH2

2) C - 41.368/12 H - 8.101/1, N - 32.162/14, O - 18.369/16

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

C - 3/1, H - 8/1 N - 2/1 O - 1/1

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula = C3H8N2O

To obtain the molecular formula where n = number of atoms of each element;

Molecular weight = 174.204 g/mol

[ 3(12) + 8(1) + 2(14) + 16]n = 174

n= 174/88

n = 2 (to the nearest whole number)

Hence, we have;

[C3H8N2O]2

The molecular formula is C6H16N4O2

3) C - 19.999/12, H - 6.713/1, N - 46.646/14, O - 26.641/16

C - 2, H - 7, N - 3, O - 2

C - 2/2, H - 7/2, N - 3/2, O - 2/2

C - 1, H - 4, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula - CH4N2O
