Best Answer

Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C) are joined together with three hydrogen bonds, whereas Adenine (A) and Thymine (T) are only held together with two.

This makes G and C more stable than A and T.

low temperatures


Will nitrogen and oxygen be identical?

No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.


Are solutions more stable than gases?

If talking about the gaseous or liquid form of a particular substance, then the solution is more stable. This is due to the fact that liquids have lower temperatures than gases of the same substance, and low temperatures in turn result in a more stable substance. If talking generally about any solution and any gas, then I can't answer your question as it really depends on what substance you are comparing. PS this is wrong

What is the significance of high hydration enthalpy?

Enthalpy of hydration is the energy change for converting 1 mol of an anhydrous substance to 1 mol of the hydrated substance. More the hydration enthalpy more will be the energy released on getting hydrated. The stability of any species is inversely proportional to the energy content and any chemical species tends to becoming more and more stable. Thus having high hydration enthalpy means it will become more stable on hydration and thus it will tend to forming its hydrate.


Would two compounds made of nitrogen and oxygen be identical?

No. Nitrogen is triply bonded, and is much more stable at "standard" temperatures than the more electronegative oxygen is.
