What chemical characteristics of fatty acids determines their susceptibility to spoilage by oxygen?
Susceptibility to spoilage by oxygen of fatty acids is determined by the number of double bonds in the acid's carbon chain. Molecular oxygen can attack these bonds and break the chain, forming ketones. Incidentally, naturally-occuring cis-double bonds are more susceptible than the artificial trans-fatty acids.
Which bonds break?
All bonds break when enough energy is applied
When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
Which requires a shorter wavelength to break- one of the bonds in the molecule Ozone or Oxygen?
Both ozone and oxygen absorb UV-C or more energetic light, and are broken apart by it. Only ozone can absorb the less energetic (longer wavelength) UV-B, to protect the DNA of surface life on Earth.
Why does a flame occur?
When a substance is subjected to heat the chemical bonds in it may break down and release energy. If oxygen is present then the release of heat energy will cause the oxygen to combust and produce a flame.
Is more energy or less energy needed to break the bonds in the oxygen and gasoline than is released when the bonds in the carbon dioxide and water are made?
More. You can't break O2!
When the bonds in water break what 2 ions can form?
Oxygen and 2 Hydrogen.Hence the H2O1

When bonds break and new bonds form?
When bonds break and new bonds form, a chemical reaction has taken place.
Which bonds break?
All bonds break when enough energy is applied
What does bonds hydrogen and oxygen?
The sharing of electrons is what bonds hydrogen and oxygen together.

The hydrogen bonds break.

Where is the energy stored in gasoline before it is combusted?
As in all hydrocarbons the energy is stored in the covalent bonds that make the compound. The bonds between H-C and C-C The energy is released when these bonds break. The bonds are broken using a little incentive such as fire or a spark in the presence of oxygen.
Why does a flame occur?
When a substance is subjected to heat the chemical bonds in it may break down and release energy. If oxygen is present then the release of heat energy will cause the oxygen to combust and produce a flame.
What kind of bonds are carbon-oxygen bonds in CO2?
double covalent bonds
Where is the energy is a sucrose molecules stored?
The energy in a sucrose molecule is stored in the interatomic bonds such as the carbon-oxygen bonds and the oxygen-hydrogen bonds.
