Electronegativity is related to covalent bonding because when two atoms have the same electronegativity bond, they will form a pure covalent bond.
Hi there!
Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins.
In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.
Anything that has mass and volume (takes up space) is called matter.
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
Methane.
Water - H2O
Methane - CH4
Methane has 2 more hydrogens than water.
