We know that nucleic acids are biomolecules which is responsible for carrying the genetic information in living organisms. Nucleic acids have various properties, including physical, chemical and biological properties.
Physical Properties
Nucleic acids are macromolecular in nature because they have a high molecular weight. They are water-soluble but insoluble in alcohol. Also, nucleic acids can absorb ultraviolet light at 260 nm because they have nitrogenous bases.
Chemical Properties
- Acidic in nature
- Hydrolysis
- Base pairing
- Negative charging
Biological Properties
- Stores and transfers genetic information
- The genetic code of every organism i

The "ampere" was defined based on the magnetic interaction. The scientific community used the magnetic force between two parallel current-carrying conductors placed at a distance. Below is the definition of 1 ampere, based on this concept.
1 Ampere is the constant current that produces a magnetic force of exactly when two infinitely long, straight, parallel conductors are placed one meter apart in vacuum. |

Covalent and electrovalent bonding are the two major chemical bonding processes. These two bonds are different from each other in multiple aspects. Check the table below to know a concise summary of the differences.
| Particular | Covalent Bond | Ionic Bond |
| Formation | Due to the complete transfer of electrons | Due to the sharing of electron pairs |
| Ion formation | No ions formed | Cations and Anions formed. |
| Nature | Electrostatic attraction between ions | Electrostatic attraction between nuclei and shared electrons |
| Strength | Strong | Less strong |
| Melting/Boiling point | High due to a strong bond | lower due to weaker bond |
| Polarity | Highley Polar | Non-Polar |
