These are true and false questions and I want to make sure that I got them right.
- A water molecule is held together by two single polar covalent bonds. False
- Because oxygen has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen, water molecules are polar with two partial negative charges near the oxygen atom and one partial positive charge near each hydrogen atom. False
- Atoms differ in their affinity for neutrons, a property called electronegativity. False
- In general, electronegativity increases from left to right across each row of the periodic table and also increases down each column. False
- In a nonpolar covalent bond there is an equal sharing of electrons between two atoms while polar covalent bonds involve an unequal sharing of electrons. True
- A single molecule of oxygen (O2) is held together by two double nonpolar covalent bonds. True
- A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. True
- Polar molecules are electrically neutral but the distribution of charge within the molecule is not uniform. True
- Although C and H differ slightly in electronegativity, this small difference is negligible, and C–H bonds are considered polar. False
- Of the 4 most common elements found in living organisms, nitrogen has the highest electronegativity and, therefore, the greatest affinity for electrons. False
- A slightly positive hydrogen atom on one water molecule can attract the slightly negative oxygen atom on a different water molecule, leading to the formation of a hydrogen bond. False
Please check this and I need help with this other question
You arrive late to a biological seminar. However, just as you enter the room, you hear the speaker referring to the "five-prime end" and the "three-prime end" of a macromolecule. Immediately, you know that they are talking about a______
a)carbohydrate. b)protein. c)DNA. d)lipid.
