Answer:
C. CH₄ is less than NH₃ because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond
Explanation:
The intermolecular forces between ammonia is far stronger than for methane. Between the molecules of ammonia we have the presence of hydrogen bonds. This bond is absent in methane.
Hydrogen bonds are one of the strongest intermolecular forces. It is as a result of the electrostatic attraction between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom N, O and F of another molecule.
- This strong interaction is absent in methane which has just dipole - dipole attraction.
The strength of the hydrogen bond depends on the electronegativity of the combining atoms.
Answer:
In the third step of the citric acid cycle, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released.
Explanation:
In the first step of citric acid cycle, acetylCoA combines with a four-carbon molecule, oxaloacetate, forming a six-carbon molecule, citrate.
In the second step, the citrate in the presence of enzyme anicotase is converted into isocitrate.
<u>In the third step, the oxidation of isocitrate takes place and one molecule of carbon dioxide is released leaving behind one five-carbon molecule called as α-ketoglutarate. During this step, NAD⁺ is reduced to form NADH. </u>
<u>This is first round of the citric acid cycle that could possibly release a carbon atom originating from this acetyl CoA.</u>
On series of reaction, another carbon dioxide molecule also being relased and oxaloacetate is regenerated again.
Answer:
I. dipole-dipole
III. dispersion
IV. hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
Intermolecular forces are weak attraction force joining nonpolar and polar molecules together.
London Dispersion Forces are weak attraction force joining non-polar and polar molecules together. e.g O₂, H₂,N₂,Cl₂ and noble gases. The attractions here can be attributed to the fact that a non -polar molecule sometimes becomes polar because the constant motion of its electrons may lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.
Dispersion forces are the weakest of all electrical forces that act between atoms and molecules. The force is responsible for liquefaction or solidification of non-polar substances such as noble gas an halogen at low temperatures.
Dipole-Dipole Attractions are forces of attraction existing between polar molecules ( unsymmetrical molecules) i.e molecules that have permanent dipoles such as HCl, CH3NH2 . Such molecules line up such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.
Dipole - Dipole attractions are more stronger than the London dispersion forces but weaker than the attraction between full charges carried by ions in ionic crystal lattice.
Hydrogen Bonding is a dipole-dipole intermolecular attraction which occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to highly electronegative elements such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine. The highly electronegative elements have very strong affinity for electrons. Hence, they attracts the shared pair of electrons in the covalent bonds towards themselves, leaving a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the electronegative atom ( nitrogen in the case of CH3NH2 ) . This attractive force is know as hydrogen bonding.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Electronegativity value of hydrogen is 2.2.
Electronegativity value of chlorine is 3.16.
Electronegativity value of carbon is 2.55.
Electronegativity value of oxygen is 3.44.
Electronegativity value of nitrogen is 3.04.
Electronegativity value of sodium is 0.93.
Electronegativity value of iodine is 2.66.
Therefore, calculate the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms as follows.
- Electronegativity difference of HCl = Electronegativity value of chlorine - electronegativity value of hydrogen
= 3.16 - 2.2
= 0.96
- Electronegativity difference of CO = Electronegativity value of oxygen - electronegativity value of carbon
= 3.44 - 2.55
= 0.89
- Electronegativity difference of
= Electronegativity value of nitrogen - electronegativity value of nitrogen
= 3.04 - 3.04
= 0
- Electronegativity difference of NaI = Electronegativity value of iodine - electronegativity value of sodium
= 2.66 - 0.93
= 1.73
So, we can see that highest electronegativity difference is 1.73 and it is shown by NaI molecule.
Thus, we can conclude that a group 1 alkali metal bonded to iodide, such as NaI has the greatest electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.
