Q:

What holds the sides of the DNA ladder together?

A) Polar covalent bonds B) Ionic bonds
C) Metallic bonds D) Covalent bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Covalent bonds

Explanation:

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.

How to check the given molecules are polar or non polar :

If the electronegativity of the two bonded atoms are different then the bond is polar. Although, some molecules contain polar bonds, the molecule may be non-polar. If the polarity of all the bonds present in the molecule are cancel each other then molecule is non-polar.

 

In the given options,

SO2  is polar because the dipole moments on the O do not cancel.

PCl3  is polar because the P-Cl bonds do not cancel out.

CH2Cl2  polar because the C-Cl bonds do not cancel.

 

Hence, in brief, Polar molecules are molecules with net dipole due to the presence of partial positive and partial negative charge.

For example, water is a polar molecule that has partial positive and partial negative charge on it. CO2 is a non polar compound.

 

Therefore, all the given options SO2, CH2Cl2 and PCl3 are Polar molecules.

Q:

A gas absorbs a photon of 355 nm and emits at two wavelengths. If one of the emissions is at 680 nm, the other is at :

A) 518 nm B) 1035 nm
C) 325 nm D) 743 nm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 743 nm

Explanation:

1λ=1λ1+1λ2

1355=1680+1λ2

1λ2=680-355680×355

λ2=743nm.
