Chemistry Questions

In chemistry, the term transition metal has three possible meanings: The IUPAC definition defines a transition metal as "an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell".

Any of the set of metallic elements occupying a central block (Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12) in the periodic table, e.g. iron, manganese, chromium, and copper. Chemically they show variable valency and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are coloured.

Here in the given options, only iron (Fe) is a transition metal since Strontium is an alkaline earth, arsenic is a metalloid, hydrogen is (normally) a diatomic gas.

Chemical Compounds with stronger intermolecular forces have higher boiling points.

The order of strengths of intermolecular forces is:

 London dispersion < dipole-dipole < H-bonding

${\text{Methane (CH}}_{\mathrm{4)}}$ — London dispersion forces

${\text{Dimethyl ether (CH}}_3{\text{OCH}}_{\mathrm{3)}}$ — dipole-dipole attractions

${\text{Methanol (CH}}_3\text{OH)}$ — hydrogen bonding

Therefore, ${\text{Methanol -}}^{}$${\text{CH}}_3\text{OH}$$\text{with H-Bonding have highest Boiling Point among the given chemical compounds.}$

Proteins are long chains of Amino acids. That is in brief, Amino acids are the monomers of Proteins. Amino acids are compounds which contain both an amino group and a carboxylic group. Proteins are made up of 20 essential amino acids.

Monomer means a small molecule of an organic substance i.e, building block in general.

Electronegativity measures an element's ability to form chemical bonds. Helium is the most electronegative element followed by Fluorine.

Here in the given options, Oxygen is the most electronegative element. Fluorine is followed by Oxygen, Chlorine and Nitrogen is the most electronegative elements list.
