The answer is hydrogen bonds.

In the DNA double helix structure nitrogen atoms are chemically bonded to hydrogen atoms. Given that nitgrogen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, hydrogen atoms in a base-pairing will bear a partial positive charge.

That partial positive charge is atracted to the oxygen atoms (which are also more electronegative than hydrogen atoms) in the same base pairing in DNA.

That atraction constitutes the hydrogen bond.

A hypothetical element consists of two isotopes of masses 86.95amu and 88.95amu with abundances of 35.5% and 64.5% respectively.
Art [367]

Answer: The average atomic mass of the element = 88.242amu

Explanation:

The abundance of the first isotope is =35.5%

 Atomic mass of first isotope = 68.9257

The average atomic mass of the first isotope =86.95amu X 35.5%  =86.95amu X 0.355 =30.8725 amu

The abundance of the second isotope =64.5%

Atomic mass of the second isotope =88.95amu

The average atomic mass of second isotope =88.95amu x 64.5% = 88.95amu x 0.645= 57.37275 amu

Now the average atomic mass =30.8725 +57.37275 = 88.242amu

OR using the formulae

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

{(86.95amu X 35.5 )+(88.95amu x 64.5)}/100

8,824/100

=88.24amu

Irina18 [472]

Answer

Protein, Amino Acid, RNA, DNA

Explanation

Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are made from units called nucleotides which occur naturally as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).RNA contain ribose while DNA lacks the hydroxyl group .DNA is double stranded whereas RNA is single stranded.

Calculate the mass of KHC8H4O4 that reacts with 20 ml of 0.1 Monday NaOH.
Zigmanuir [339]
 <span>Obviously only one of the H's was replaced as the product showed one mole of water So the ratio is 1 to 1.Moles of NaOH used Molarity x volume = 0.1 x0.015(L) = 0.0015 moles 
Mass of acid used is 0.0015 x 204 = 0.306g 
moles MM

hopefully this helps</span>
