Question

2. Describe how quantum mechanics are used to determine bonding characteristics.

3. We have read about two important properties of liquids -- surface tension and viscosity. These properties can be understood in terms of intermolecular forces. Discuss the properties of liquids in reference to living organisms. How do properties such as surface tension and viscosity allow the body fluids to perform and carryout the many important processes essential to human life?

Answer 1

2. Quantum Mechanics provides a useful framework for many features of the modern periodic table elements, and describes the behaviors of atoms during chemical bonding and the flow of electrons in computer semiconductors, and therefore plays a crucial role in many modern technologies.

3. Surface tension is a phenomenon that we see in our everyday life. Many biological performances and natural processes involve an understanding of wetting and interfacial tension where most biochemical reactions occur not in solution but at the surface and interface. Human biological fluids such as serum, urine, gastric juice, amniotic fluid, digestive, urinary and reproductive tracts, endocrine glands, middle ear, cerebrospinal and alveolar lining fluid contain numerous surfactants, proteins, and lipids. These low and high-molecular weight surfactants are the common materials in various tissues of the body which control surface tension of human interfaces. The physicochemical processes that take place in these interfaces are of fundamental importance for various tissues and the vital function of body organs

Blood viscosity is the thickness and stickiness of blood. It is a direct measure of the ability of blood to flow through the vessels.Grounding (Earthing) increases the surface charge on RBCs and thereby reduces blood viscosity and clumping. Grounding appears to be one of the simplest and yet most profound interventions for helping reduce cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events.
