Question 5

Which of the following statements about DNA and RNA is correct?

Accepted Answer

DNA contains deoxyribose, while RNA contains ribose.

Question 6

Why are the two strands of DNA held together by hydrogen bonds instead of covalent bonds?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen bonds allow the strands to separate easily during replication.

How does water interact with sodium chloride ($$\mathrm{NaCl}) $$when it dissolves?

Accepted Answer

Water molecules surround the ions, with oxygen facing $$\mathrm{Na^+}$$ and hydrogen facing $$\mathrm{Cl^-}.$$

Question 11

Which of the following best defines electronegativity?

Accepted Answer

The tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
