A salamander relies on hydrogen bonding to stick to various surfaces. Therefore, a salamander would have the greatest difficulty clinging to a______.A) Surface of hydrocarbonsB) Surface of mostly carbon-nitrogen bondsC) Slightly damp surfaceD) Surface of mostly carbon-oxygen bonds

Respuesta :

Answer:

Answer is A, surface of hydrocarbons.

Explanation:

The difficulty of salamander in attaching itself to the hydrocarbon surfaces is because the type of bond existing between hydrocarbon surfaces is covalent bond , and this is different to the surfaces which the salamander can cling to.

A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons, while the hydrogen bond is the bond existing between hydrogen and larger molecule such as nitrogen or oxygen.

Salamanders are amphibians which have lizard like appearance and have short limbs. They relies on hydrogen bonding which helps them to stick to various surfaces.

A salamander would have difficulty in clinging to a surface of hydrocarbon.

They excrete toxic on their skins and are considered as poisonous. They can climb to walls and mountainous areas.
