Linearly polarized light consists of waves that oscillate in a single plane, making it completely polarized.

Lasers emit light that is completely polarized because the light waves are emitted in a single direction and phase.

The reaction of 2-bromopropane with a strong nucleophile typically follows the SN2 mechanism due to steric hindrance.

A geosynchronous satellite typically has a circular orbit to maintain a constant position relative to the Earth's surface.

Addition polymers are formed by the polymerization of unsaturated monomers.

Natural rubber is formed from the polymerization of isoprene.

Proteins are polymers formed by the linkage of amino acids through peptide bonds.

Condensation polymerization involves the reaction of monomers with functional groups, resulting in the elimination of small molecules.

Addition polymerization involves the reaction of monomers with unsaturated bonds to form a polymer.

Condensation polymerization involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water.

Hemoglobin is a transport protein that carries oxygen in the blood.

The quaternary structure of a protein is formed when two or more polypeptide chains assemble into a functional protein complex.

During alpha decay, helium nuclei (alpha particles) are emitted from the nucleus.

Beta decay involves the emission of beta particles, which are electrons or positrons.

Gamma radiation is the most penetrating type of radiation.

Alkanes typically undergo substitution reactions, especially with halogens.

Alkenes typically undergo addition reactions due to the presence of double bonds.

A peptide bond is formed through a condensation reaction, where water is released.

Peptide bonds are formed through a condensation reaction, where a molecule of water is released.

Peptide bonds are formed through a condensation reaction between amino acids.

Dehydration synthesis is the reaction that links monomers together to form polymers by removing water.

The reaction is a nucleophilic substitution where the cyanide ion replaces the bromine atom.

The treatment of 2-bromobutane with sodium ethoxide leads to an elimination reaction, forming an alkene.

The conversion of alkenes to alkanes involves the addition of hydrogen (hydrogenation).

The reaction of alkenes with hydrogen is called hydrogenation.

Hydrogenation is an addition reaction where hydrogen is added across the double bond.

The reaction between an alcohol and an acid to form an ether is a condensation reaction.

The reaction of an alkene with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst is called hydrogenation.

Hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen to an alkene, converting it to an alkane.

The reaction of an alkene with water in the presence of an acid is called hydrolysis.
