What is the conductivity for sodium azide?

The conductivity of sodium azide depends on its concentration and the solvent in which it is dissolved. In general, sodium azide is a salt that dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and azide ions (N3-) in solution. These ions can carry electric current, making sodium azide a conductor. However, its conductivity may not be as high as other salts due to the specific properties of the azide ion.

What is postive feedback?

when a change happens, positive feedback is a response to that change that encourages the change further, instead of trying to inhibit the change like negative feedback.


How do antibiotics affect protein synthesis?

Generally not: antibiotics are essentially antibacterials, that is drugs counteracting bacterial infections like pneumonia, salmonella and the like. The specific mechanism of working of antibiotics depends on the specific drug under examination. Penicillin and its derivatives are bacterial killers: they enters into the bacteria membrane and inhibit basic bacteria life processes. A few of these processes are also related to bacteria proteins syntheses and, under this point of view, these class of antibiotics are also protein synthesis inhibitors. The important think to remember is that they inhibit, among other effects, the synthesis of bacterial proteins, not of the host (generally a human) protein syntheses. Other antibiotics inhibits bacteria multiplication by thwarting bacteria DNA splitting and replication. Also in this case, since many proteins are involved in the DNA replication process, bacteria proteins are involved, but the main antibiotics effect is to inhibit DNA replication.

Is covalent the bonding of sodium azide?

No, covalent bonding is not the bonding of sodium azide. Sodium azide is an ionic compound, formed by the transfer of electrons between sodium and azide ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Is NaN3 covalent or ionic?

NaN3 (sodium azide) is an ionic compound. It is composed of sodium cations (Na+) and azide anions (N3-) which are held together by ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from sodium to azide.


What is the type of chemical bonding and structure of sodium azide?

Sodium azide has ionic bonding, where sodium donates an electron to azide. It has a crystalline structure, typically forming white crystals or powder.
