Chemistry

GalinKa [24]2 years ago

Answer: Adenine and guanine are the two purines and cytosine, thymine and uracil are the three pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is that purines contain a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring fused to an imidazole ring whereas pyrimidines contain only a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring. They both are types or categories of nitrogen containing bases present in nuclei acids of DNA and RNA.

Purines are 2 Ring or Carbon Ring, Nitrogen containing bases. That consist of these 2 rings next placed next to each other. These examples include - Adenine and Guanine.

Pyrimidines are 1 or single Ring Nitrogen containing structures. There are 3 nitrogenous bases that are categorized as pyrimidines. Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.

Classical bonding in NaH2PO4
lesantik [10]

NaH_2PO_4, a crystal structure with a short symmetrical hydrogen bond.

<h3>What is Classical bonding?</h3>

Classical models of the chemical bond. By classical, we mean models that do not take into account the quantum behaviour of small particles, notably the electron. These models generally assume that electrons and ions behave as point charges which attract and repel according to the laws of electrostatics.

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate is a derivative composed of glycerol derivatives formed by reacting mono and diglycerides that are derived from edible sources with phosphorus pentoxide followed by neutralization with sodium carbonate.

Bonding in NaH_2PO_4

NaH_2PO_4, a crystal structure with a short symmetrical hydrogen bond. Sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH_2PO_4) is monoclinic, space group P2,/c, with a= 6.808 (2), b= 13.491 (3), c=7.331 (2)/~, fl=92.88 (3) ; Z=8.

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.
