Ionic compounds are formed from ionic bonds, whereby an electron is transferred from the metal cation to the nonmetal anion. Ion

s form solid lattices of ions. Covalent compounds form solids through the attraction of two covalent molecules. Since the attraction between two covalent molecules is weak compared to the ionic bonds holding an ionic compound together, ionic compounds tend to have higher melting points.
Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?

I2
NaI
HI
IBr

Answer:

NaI

Explanation:

In I₂, HI and IBr, both atoms are nonmetals and they form covalent bonds in which electrons are shared.

In NaI, Na is a metal and I a nonmetal, so they form an ionic bond, where Na loses an electron to form Na⁺ and I gains an electron to form I⁻.  Anions and cations are attracted to each other through electrostatic forces.

Since ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds, more energy is required to break them in the melting process, thus having higher melting points.

All in all, NaI is the one with the highest melting point.

Match the specific enzyme to its class. A. oxidoreductase B. hydrolase C. transferase D. ligase E. lyase aminase
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Every enzyme has a specific name that can give us insight into the specific reaction that that enzyme can catalyze. We divide them into six different categories.

1) Oxidoreductase - includes two different types of reactions by transferring electrons from either molecule A to B or vice versa. It is involved in oxidizing electrons away from a molecule.

2) Hydrolase - uses water to divide a molecule into two other molecules.

3) Transferase - you move some functional group X from molecule B to molecule A

4) Ligase - catalyzes reactions between two molecules, A and B, that are combining to form a complex between the two. (example: DNA replication)

5) Lyase - divides a molecule into two other molecules without using water and without reducing or oxidation

A scientist performs an experiment in which they create an artificial cell with a selectively permeable membrane through which o
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Water moves into the cell

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the cell is high in glucose and placed in a glass filled with water. This cell has a semi permeable membrane that allows only water to pass through, as the concentration of water within the cell is low, the cell will attempt to strike a balance with the medium it is inserted into. For this reason, what is likely to happen is the passage of water from the most concentrated to the least concentrated medium, that is, the water will pass from the cup to the cell.

water moves into the cell through osmosis.during osmosis water moves from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of high concentration of solute.the glucose introduced into the cell makes it more concentrated.

In this case the cell is hypertonic and water would enter into the cell through the semi permeable membrane.this membrane allows water to pass through but not glucose.this movement of water into the cell causes the cell to become turgid.

Why are the concentrations of [H3O+] and [OH−] equal in pure water?
kotegsom [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (A) [H_3O^+]=[OH^-] because one of each is produced every time an [H^+] transfers from one water molecule to another.

Explanation :

As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.

The balanced reaction will be:

HOH+HOH\rightarrow H_3O^++OH^-

Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)
