Hello,
Given that all living organisms are composed primarily of water, briefly explain why it makes sense that biological organisms are made up of molecules and not ionic compounds. (Hint, think about what happens when you add an ionic compound like sodium chloride, common table salt, to a glass of water.)
I'm taking high school chemistry class and this is a question on the homework. I'm not sure of an answer, I put that
We are made of molecules because ionic compounds need a 1:1 and we are made up of 4 + elements. Each of those elements are no where near 50% of our body makeup so the 1:1 ratio wouldnt work.
Would this work? Thanks
