A giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?
A polymer
Giant organic molecule made of small molecules linked together?
No, it is one molecule.However some large organic molecules (i.e. polymers) are formed from small organic molecules (i.e. monomers) that bond together into long chains, forming one new large molecule. The small molecules no longer exist as individual molecules after bonding into the large molecule.
What are macromolescules?
Macromolecules are giant molecules that are formed when thousands of smaller units of identical molecules are joined together. This process of joining together smaller identical units into a large macromolecules (polymer) is called polymerisation.
What are giant long chain molecules called?
Giant long chain molecules are called Polymers.
What are macromolecules known as?
Macromelcules are known as giant molecules
Which compounds has a low boiling point?
The lowest boiling are small covalent molecular compounds which do not have any hydrogen bonding and because they are small have weaker dispersion forces holding them together in the liquid state. Re,memebr its intermolecular forces that keep molecules together in the solid and liquid. (Not giant molecules such as diamond they are held together in the solid by covalent bonds.)
What are macromolecules of life?
Polymers are large molecules composed of many similar smaller molecules linked together. The individual smaller molecules are called monomers. When small organic molecules are joined together, giant molecules are produced. These giant molecules are known as macromolecules.
Is water a giant covalent structure?
No. Water is molecular, H2O. The molecules "clump together" due to hydrogen bonding, but these bonds are much weaker than the covalent O-H bonds
Is wax a giant covalent?
No, wax contains very large molecules.
Why are the melting and boiling points of covalent compounds lower than those of ionic compounds?
Molecular covalent compounds (where there are discrete molecules) have van der waals forces holding the molecules together in the solid and liquid phases. These forces are weak due to the small electrostatic charges involved as these originate in permanent or instantaneous dipoles. Ionic compounds are giant lattices where the ions are held together by electrostatic forces deriving fromthe relatively large charges on ions. It therefore takes more energy to break ionic lattices. NOTE that giant covalent molecules like diamond, silicon carbide also have high melting points. In these much energy is required to break the covalent bonds that hold the giant molecule together.
what has higher melting points ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds have higher melting points because the bond olding the ionic crystal together is stronger than the intermolecular forces (van der Waals) holding covalent molecules together. Giant covalent molecules such as dialmond and silicon dioxide have very high melting points because the lattice is held together by stong covalent bonds
