In the -helix , the hydrogen bonds
are roughly parallel to the axis of the helix
are roughly perpendicular to the axis of the helix
occur mainly between electronegative atoms of the R groups
occur only between some of the amino acids of the helix
A.
are roughly parallel to the axis of the helix
In a-helix structure, H-bonds are parallel to the axis of helix
The strongest acid among the following compound is :
HCOOH
CH3CH2CH(Cl)COOH
ClCH2CH2CH2COOH
CH3COOH
B.
CH3CH2CH(Cl)COOH
CH3CH2CH(Cl)COOH is the strongest acid due to the presence of strong electron withdrawing group Cl at a carbon atom.
Which ofthe following is true regarding teflon ?
It is a linear, unbranched polymer of tetrafluoro ethylene
It has very high thermal stability
Polymer molecules are associated by strong dipole-dipole attraction
All of the above
D.
All of the above
Due to symmetry of F2C = CF2 and strength of C-F bond , branching does not take place and a linear chain teflon is always formed. High bond energy of C-F bond gives high thermal stability to polymer . Large electronegativity difference of 'C' and F makes C-F bond highly polar.
Cellulose has very high degree of hydrophilicity because of :
its amorphous nature
crystalline nature
presence of excessive voids in solid state
presence of many hydroxyl groups on the polymer back bone
D.
presence of many hydroxyl groups on the polymer back bone
Cellulose is a polyhydroxy compound, contain several free hydroxyl groups ion its back bone capable of forming intermolecular H-bonds with water .
