Hydra is a type of polyp. It is an animal, because it moves around like one even though it looks like a plant. A hydra is from the Phylum Cnidarian and belongs with others such as jellyfish and coral.
Hydrocarbons are compounds made entirely out of Hydrogen and Carbon
3. Tell me what is an oxidizing agent?
Any chemical species that has a tendency to accept electrons and thereby undergoing reduction themselves is known as an oxidizing agent
4. Explain what is protein in Chemistry?
Protein is a source of backup energy that your body stores, a large complex molecule made up of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins perform a wide variety of activities in the cell.
Highly complex nitrogenous compounds found in all animal and vegetable tissues. Proteins, the principal constituents of the protoplasm of all cells (apart from water), are of high molecular weight, and consist essentially of combinations of amino acids in peptide linkages. Twenty different amino acids are commonly found in proteins and each protein has a unique, genetically defined amino acid sequence that determines its specific shape and function.
5. Tell me Is HCl an acid or a base?
HCl, or hydrochloric acid, as the name implies, is an acid. In fact, it is considered a strong acid because it dissociates completely in water to form H3O+ and Cl-.
However, it can also act as a base in reactions with acids stronger than it can like HClO4.
Alum is a chemical (aluminum potassium sulphate); it tends to be whitish powder with several uses, including:
1. As an astringent
2. As an antibacterial
3. As a food preservative
4. As a 'Styptic pencil' to heal shaving cuts
5. To stem the flow of minor blood loss and cuts
6. Soaked into materials to make them flame retardant
There are other uses, but these are some of the more common ones.
7. Explain what is the structure of a DNA molecule?
A molecule of DNA is double-stranded. The molecule has the shape of a double helix.
The DNA molecule consists of two complementary strands oriented in an anti-parallel fashion. Each strand is composed of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a base (a purine or pyrimidine), a sugar (between the other two components) named deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides are linked to each other via phosphodiester bonds, forming a sugar-phosphate backbone to each strand.
The base of each nucleotide projects into the interior cavity of the helix. Each base is opposite another base: adenine (a purine) is always paired with thymine (a pyrimidine), and guanine (purine) with cytosine (pyrimidine); this phenomenon is called complementary base pairing.
Each nucleotide forms hydrogen bonds with its complementary base on the other strand. Two hydrogen bonds form between adenine and thymine; three hydrogen bonds form between guanine and cytosine.
8. Explain the direction of the dipole moment expected for carbon tetrachloride?
It has no net dipole moment. Hence, it is non-polar.
Answer is --> Benzyl amine.
Due to resonance of electron pair in aniline,nitroaniline and acetanilide, these are weaker base than Benzyl amine(C6H5CH2NH2) .
Benzyl amine>Aniline>Acetanilide>Nitroaniline
10. Explain what is some importance of organic chemistry?
In organic chemistry one uses it both medicinally one uses it to test for illness way back from ancient times. It is also a good diagnostic tool by smell feel or touch. You can actually heed the smell of decay in organic chemistry
11. Tell me how are dipole attractions London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding similar?
They are all forces of attraction used to kelp keep molecules together. Since the molecules are the atoms bonded together, there are no electrons, or not enough, left over to bond with more atoms. The result would be trillions of tiny molecules floating about. Instead, each of these types of attractions draws the molecules together into solids, liquids, or gases.
The full form of HCL is hydrochloric acid or hydrogen chloride gas
13. Tell me what is the dipole moment of chlorooctane?
There are multiple forms of the molecule "chlorooctane." This is because the chlorine atom can be attached to the octane chain in several different places, and each different placement will result in a different dipole moment. If you specify the structure of the compound more precisely (1-chlorooctane or 2-chlorooctane for example), it is possible to determine its dipole moment.
14. Explain the difference in the modern periodic table and Mendeleevs table?
The periodic table is now arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers. In addition, it is said that the modern table makes it easier to read and learn. The way that it is set up now allows scientists to make changes if necessary. Hope this helps
15. Do you know where is tin obtained?
Tin is obtained in various places tin is found mainly in the ore cassiterite, which is found in Malaysia, Bolivia, Thailand, and Nigeria.
16. Explain the net charge of a non-ionized atom?
In an atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and that one proton has the same positive charge value as an electron does a negative charge value.
Therefore, I am assuming that all atoms have no charge, zero, none, squat.
Non-ionized also means the atom has not suffered electron exchange, so a non-ionized atom is really just an atom (which is word redundancy).
This is what I know from AS level Chemistry, so I don't know if it's the same thing as more advanced chemistry (for university or something).
17. Explain the chemical formula for Epsom salts?
Epsom Salt chemical formula is Me245-H2O.
18. Explain substituted hydrocarbon?
A substituted hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon with one or more of the hydrogen is substituted with another element, (often a halogen such as chlorine or bromine) or another group of atoms such as -OH. Examples: -
a simple hydrocarbon is methane CH4. Substitute chlorine for hydrogen to get
CH3Cl Methyl Chloride is used for cleaning. Sub. Again to get
CH2Cl2 Methylene Chloride is used as paint stripper. Sub again to get
CHCl3 Chloroform is an ancient anesthetic. Sub again to get
CCl4 Carbon Tetrachloride is used in cleaning and fire extinguishers.
Substitute a single -OH group into -
CH4 to get CH3OH methanol or into C2H6 to get C2H5OH ethanol
The above examples all begin with unbranched non-cyclic hydrocarbons, but any hydrocarbon is a suitable target. A well-known instance is a double substitution of chlorine at opposite ends of a benzene ring to form paradichlorbenzene, commonly found hanging in toilet bowls. C6H6 becomes C6H4Cl2
19. Which one is polar HCl or HF?
This question is quite simple if you have an electro negativity chart:
Florine's Electronegativity: 4.0
Chlorine's Electronegativity: 3.0
Hydrogen's Electronegativity: 2.1
HCl: 3.0-2.1= .9 (Slightly polar)
HF: 4.0-2.1= 1.9 (Much more polar)

21. How to prepare a solution of 1 M HCl?
Exactly how you prepare will depend on what you are starting with. Typically, to make a 1 M HCl solution, you will be starting with a stock solution of more concentrated HCl that you will then dilute.
22. Explain what element was used to make the first atomic bomb?
Uranium was used in the Hiroshima bomb and Plutonium in the Nagasaki one.
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds while inorganic chemistry is the chemistry of all the rest of the elements on the periodic table.
24. Explain why positive charge will come on electropositive element?
The net charge on that element will be positive. The valence shell of such an element will have an excess electron which will be indicated by a positive charge. The excess electrons may be one or more. The electron donating nature of the element is indicated by the positive charge.
25. How to determine the 'pka ' of a given component?
pka or pkb depends on the compound taken. when pH is measured and the concentration of compound is known, they can be determine by simple related formulas under acids & bases section which we learnt.
Other explanation may be measuring rate of ionization of acid or base with experimental setup and then calculating the negative logarithm of concentration of acidic or basic species.

29. Explain where does arsenic come from?
(FeAsS) Arsenopyrite also known as mispickel is the most common mineral containing arsenic.
30. Explain the direction of the dipole moment expected for hydrogen bromide?
The HBr molecule is linear (obviously, since it contains only two atoms). The dipole moment is a vector, parallel to the bond, pointing toward the partially positively charged atom, which is, in this case, the hydrogen. The magnitude of the dipole moment is the difference in the partial electrical charges on each atom times the spatial separation of the atoms in the bond. In a molecule with more than two atoms (more than one bond), the dipole moment of each bond must be added vectorially and the resultant vector will determine the dipole moment of the molecule. For instance, carbon dioxide has two carbon-oxygen double bonds of high polarity, but because the molecule is linear, and the individual dipoles oppose each other, the carbon dioxide molecule has no net dipole moment.
31. What is octet rule in chemistry?
The octet rule is a simple chemical rule of thumb that states that atoms tend to combine in such a way that they each have eight electrons in their valence shells, giving them the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. This 8-electron configuration is especially stable because with 8 valence electrons, the s- and p-orbitals are completely filled (with 2 in the s-orbital, and 6 in the p-orbitals). Having completely filled orbitals provides increased stability due to something called "exchange energy."
The rule is applicable to the main-group elements, especially carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also the metals in the first two columns of the periodic table (but not to the transition metals in the middle of the periodic table). Note that the elements hydrogen (H) and helium (He) do not follow the octet rule, but rather the "duet" rule (2 electrons) because they do not have any p-orbital electrons.
In simple terms, molecules or ions tend to be most stable when the outermost electron shells of their constituent atoms contain eight electrons. The rule is commonly used in drawing Lewis dot structures.

34. Explain why chemists have not created a periodic table of compounds?
One major reason I can think of, that has not been addressed yet, is the periodicity of the elements. You can line the elements up into neat functional groups--alkali metals, transition elements, halogens and so on. This you could not do with compounds, even if you had a separate table for hydrocarbons, one for elastomers, and one for dyestuffs... Compounds also find wide use as smaller blocks of larger compounds. We call these precursors. Take toluene. It is a very toxic compound, but if you compound it into toluene diisocyanate, then compound that into polyurethane, it becomes safe enough that you can build it into replacement hip joints. Chemists do keep books of compounds, but a table on a big sheet of paper the size of...oh, the entire side of a Wal-Mart store might be big enough? It could never happen.
