intermolecular forces correct answer: the various forces of attraction that may exist between the atoms and molecules of a substance due to electrostatic phenomena kinetic energies correct answer: the energy required to overcome the attractive forces and thus increase the distance between particles Intramolecular forces correct answer: within the molecule that keep the molecule together Intermolecular forces correct answer: attractions between molecules, which determine many of the ...

(T/F) A biochemical reaction, without a catalyst or thermodynamic coupling, takes 50 years to reach a state of equilibrium. Without more information, we cannot make a determination on either the value of the Keq constant or the positive or negative value of the ΔG of the reaction. Correct Answer-False (T/F) Due to its small size, the amino acid glycine can be found in tight turns in a protein structure. Correct Answer-True (T/F) The ΔG of a reaction is defined as the energy required to b...

how are H bonds formed in beta sheets? Correct Answer-- between strands - H-bonds are lateral why do proteins fold if it would lower entropy? Correct Answer-- the hydrophobic effect - deltaH --> all of the interactions happening w/in the protein are favorable + overcome the unfavorable entropy of folding what types of interactions stabilize 3* structures? Correct Answer-- H-bonds - ion pair / salt bridges - van der Waals interactions: weak electrostatic interactions b/t induced dipo...

What is the difference between cations and anions? - Cation is the loss of electrons, the atom becomes more positive. Anion is the gain of electrons, the atom becomes more negative. Differentiate between mass number and atomic number. - Mass number- number of protons and neutrons. Atomic number- number of protons What are valence electrons and what is their significance? - Valence electrons are electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. They are important in determining the bonds that the...

Electronegativity is larger/smaller with a greater number of electron shells. - correct answer smaller Electronegativity is larger/smaller with a greater proton number in a given period (horizontal row). - correct answer larger What is wrong, if anything, with the following statement: "When NaCl is dissolved in water, the water molecules closest to the ions will tend to preferentially orient themselves so that their oxygen atoms can interact electrostatically with the chloride ions...

states of matter - three primary states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas Solids - "Solids have a fixed volume and shape. The molecules that make up the solid have the shortest distance to travel until they collide with one another. This motion has been referred to as a "jiggle." Solids have a high degree of internal order; their atoms or molecules are limited to back-and-forth motion about a central position, as if held together by springs (see Figure 6-1, A). Solids maintain their shap...
