- However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be A = 0.82i + 0.99j + 0.84k B = 1.09i + -1.01j + -0.97k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?arrow_forwardWithout stratospheric ozone (O3), harmful solar radiation would cause gene alterations.

One potential application of nanotechnology is the construction of artificial cells. The simplest cells would probably mimic red blood cells, the body's oxygen transporters. For example, nanocontainers, perhaps constructed of carbon, could be pumped full of oxygen and injected into a person's bloodstream. If the person needed additional oxygen-due to a heart attack perhaps, or for the purpose of space travel-these containers could slowly release oxygen into the blood, allowing tissues that would otherwise die to remain alive.
