What are four examples of a molecule?
Four examples of a molecule: water (H2O), hydrogen chloride (HCl), fluorine (F2), benzene (C6H6).
What is miscelle?
When amphipatic lipids are shaken up in water, the lipids will form into a ball like structure with their hydrophillic heads orientated to the water and their hydrophobic tales hidden in the center.
What is a simple molecule that can be linked by chemical bonds to form a larger molecule?
There are many examples of this, particularly in organic chemistry. Sucrose, for example, is a disaccharide commonly known as "table sugar." It is actually a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule, minus a water molecule, linked together.
Give an example of a diatomic molecule found in earths atmosphere?
Two examples are nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2).
When are non-polar molecule formed?
WhenAtoms of the same element are bonded together, they show no polarity. Some common examples include oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine as diatomic molecules and ozone as a triatomic molecule.The dipole effect of polar bonds in a molecule "cancel" each other out due to the geometry of the molecule, e.g. CF4
An example of a large carbohydrate molecule is?
Some examples could be glycogen, cellulose, or starch.
What are four examples of a molecule?
Four examples of a molecule: water (H2O), hydrogen chloride (HCl), fluorine (F2), benzene (C6H6).
What is a very large molecule having a long carbon chain?
A very large molecule that has a long carbon chain is known as a macromolecule. Some examples are proteins and nucleic acids.

Which is not a molecule used for energy storage?
In general, ahydrocarbon of some sort. Examples would be petrol and diesel, avgas and LPG.
Two examples of other atoms that attach to the carbon backbone of the organic molecule are what?
Examples: sulfur, nitrogen, halogens.
What contains two convalent bonds?
Oxyanions such as sulfate, phosphate and permanganate, any alkene, oxygen molecule are some of the examples for compounds which have double bonds in them.
What is miscelle?
When amphipatic lipids are shaken up in water, the lipids will form into a ball like structure with their hydrophillic heads orientated to the water and their hydrophobic tales hidden in the center.
What are some examples of phospholipids?
Lipid are usually fat, oil, waxes that is in living things
What are some of the especial properties of water?
Examples: boiling and freezing point, specific heat, polarity of the molecule, density, surface tension, solvent ability, etc.
Which of the follwing is not a subatomic particle?
Examples: cation, molecule, radical, clathrate, etc.
What is a lipid molecule usually solid at room temperature?
Examples: lecithin, ergosterol.
