Do trans or cis fatty acids have a higher melting point?
The trans fatty acid has a higher melting point. The trans isomer is straighter in shape and this allows the molecules to be packed closer together. The molecules are hence held together by greater Van der Waal's force.
Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
Does fermentation allows energy to be removed from molecules?
Under anaerobic conditions
What allows scientist to look at individual atoms?
By a microscope
Which property of water allows a paper towel to pick up a puddle of water?
adhesion of water molecules to other kinds of molecules
The attraction which allows molecules of different kinds of matter to stick together?
Adhension
The attraction which allows molecules of the same kind of matter to stick together?
Cohesion
What is the importance of hydrogen bonds?
allows water molecules to stick together creating cohesion
Why do gases difuses but not solid?
The intermolecular forces holding gas molecules together are not very strong and thus the molecules are free to move around freely. This allows diffusion. The intermolecular forces holding molecules of a solid together are rather strong, and the molecules thus cannot move very freely. This prevents diffusion.
What is the formula of iodine crystals?
Iodine exists as I2. The crystal of iodine is formed simply by the interaction of iodine molecules as a result of Van de Waals forces, which allows for these molecules to bond together to form a solid.
Why H bonding so importance to water's properties?
Hydrogen bonding allows water molecules to stick together. Although it is considered to be a weak bond, the special properties of hydrogen bonding allows water to be useful in MANY different circumstances. Hydrogen bonding in water allows it to be the universal solvent. It also keeps water molecules together so that we have actual water instead of gas (imagine a world without liquid H2O).

Which would be the closest antonym for the word bans?

The VSEPR theory allows us to determine the?
The VSEPR theory allows us to determine the molecular geometry of a molecule based on the number of electron pairs around the central atom. It helps predict the shape of molecules by minimizing electron pair repulsion. This theory is useful in understanding the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and their properties.
Give an example of how cohesion among water molecules is important to living things?
Cohesion is the attraction or holding together of molecules of the same substance. It affects living organisms through water, which also has adhesion (holding together of molecules of different substances). A combination of cohesion and adhesion creates capillary action, the ability for water (or any liquid) to run along a surface. (basically, it allows water to climb up small tubes. YAY ME! :)
What is an transport?
Allows molecules to move but requires energy.
