AI Thread Summary
A giant molecular structure is characterized by a vast number of covalent bonds and atoms, making it difficult to specify an exact number of bonds. The term "giant molecule" refers to substances with extensive networks of covalent bonding. The defining feature is the scale of the structure rather than a specific bond count. Understanding the concept of giant molecular structures involves recognizing their complexity and the multitude of interactions present. Overall, the focus is on the extensive nature of bonding rather than quantifying it precisely.

"Giant?"
 
A covalently bonded substance containing a huge number of atoms is called a giant molecule. I don't think the exact number of covalent bonds can be given, but one should know there are too many bonds as well as atoms present.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
