Commonly bonds with:

H - capable of 1 bond
N - capable of 3 bonds
O - capable of 2 bonds

Question 25

Answer 25

entirely made up of C and H. Hydrophobic due to non-polar bonds between the C and H atoms.

Question 26

Isomer Interaction

Answer 26

Molecules with the same molecular formulas(same elements/quantities/molecular weight) but differ structural formulas and thus different chemical behavior and properties.
