Answer:
The reaction between amines and carboxylic acids to form amides is biologically important. It is through this reaction that amino acids (molecules containing both amine and carboxylic acid substituents) link together in a polymer to form proteins.
Answer:
Bats eat hundreds of mosquitoes and other annoying insects at night.
Thermal energy equation is;
Q = mcΔθ
Q = Thermal energy
m = mass
c = specific heat
Δθ = Temperature difference
the hot cup of coffee has a higher temperature. But the mass of coffee is very low compared to the mass of water in swimming pool. The maximum temperature for coffee only can go up to 100 ⁰C since the boiling point of water is 100 ⁰C. But the mass of water in swimming pool is very large and the thermal enegy is very high compared to the coffee cup due to that reason.
Answer:
shorter
longer
Explanation:
The carbon-carbon bond length in ethylene is <u>shorter</u> than the carbon-carbon bond length in ethane, and the HCH bond angle in ethylene is <u>longer</u> the HCH bond angle in ethane.
The objective of this question is to let us understand the concept of Bond Length and Bond angle among the unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (i.e alkanes, alkenes and alkynes).
The variation in bond angles of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons can be explained by two concepts; The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model and hybridization.
The VSEPR model determines the total number of electron pairs surrounding the central atom of a species. The total number of electron pairs consist of the bond pairs and lone pairs. All the electron pairs( lie charge ) will then orient themselves in such a way to minimize the electrostatic repulsion between them.
As the number of the lone pairs increases from zero to 2 ; the bond angles diminish progressively.
However;
Hybridization is the mixing or blending of two or more pure atomic orbitals (s,p and d) to form two or more hybrid atomic orbitals that are identical in shape and energy . e.g sp, sp² , sp³ hybrid orbitals etc .
The shape of the geometry of this compound hence determines their bond angle.
The shape of the geometry of ethane is tetrahedral which is 109.5° in bond angle while that of ethylene is trigonal planar which is 120°.
This is why the HCH bond angle in ethylene is longer the HCH bond angle in ethane .
