Which set-up forms the strongest hydrogen bonds?
When atoms are at a 90 degree angle from the hydrogen atom.
When the atoms are all in a straight line.
When atoms are at less than 60 degrees from the hydrogen atom.
When atoms are more than 60 degrees from the hydrogen atom.
At which distance are van der Waals interactions the strongest?
At the van der Waals contact distance.
At less than the van der Waals contact distance.
At more than the van der Waals contact distance.
When the nuclei of the two atoms are 0.5 angstrom away from each other.
Why does the formation of the DNA double helix release heat?
It doesn't release heat, it absorbs it.
Because the formation of the double helix is a decrease in entropy, thus heat must be released to increase it and make the reaction favourable.
The overall net formation of hydrogen bonds releases energy as heat.
Because the enzymes that do it couple the reaction with another one that releases heat.
What does pKa represent?

The pH at which the concentration of the protonated form of a substance is equal to the concentration of OH-.
What is the Pauli exclusion principle?
Only two electrons may be placed in each orbital, and these must have opposite spins.
Only two electrons may be placed in each orbital.
If two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, then one electron must be placed in each orbital until they are half full.

What is the difference between the equilibrium constant and the mass action ratio?
The mass action ratio depends on actual concentrations, while the equilibrium constant depends on the concentrations at equilibrium.
