Pyrimidine is one ring structure with 4 carbons and 2 nitrogens, linked together in a ring, with a carbon located between the nitrogens. It follows Hucke's rule for aromaticity, and therefore is a NN-heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

How many resonance structures of pyrimidines are there?
2
How many rings do pyrimidines have?
Pyrimidines have a single ring and are part of the basic building blocks for RNA and DNA.
How many rings do pyrimides have?
Pyrimidines have a single ring in their molecule.
What nitrogenous bases are pyrimidines?
Pyrimidines are the single ringed structures-Cytosine and ThyminePurines are the double ringed structures- Adenine and Guanine.
How many rings does pyrimidines have?
A pyrimidine ring and an imidazole ring.
What is the difference between a purines and pyrimidines?
A purine has a double ring, while a pyrimidine has a single ring. Also purines are adenine and guanine, and the pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine.
Which one is purines and pyrimidines are bigger?
Purines because purines have two rings where as pyrimidines have only one ring.
What has a single ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms?
hydrocarbons
How do purines differ from pyrimidines?
Purines and pyrimidines are the building blocks of nucleic acids. The difference between purines and pyrimidines is in the number of carbon-rings present. Pyrimidines contain one carbon-ring while purines have two.
What are the two nitrogen bases that are single ring structures?
Thymine is a single-ringed nitrogenous base.
What has the author Neil Jonathan Lasater written?
Neil Jonathan Lasater has written: 'Structures of certain chloro substituted pyrimidines' -- subject(s): Pyrimidines
How are the structures of purines and pyrimidines different?
The main chemical structure difference in purines and pyrimidines is purines have a 5 sided C and N based ring as well as a 6 sided C and N based ring structure. Pyrimidines only have the 6 sided C and N based ring structure, also uracil(unmethylated) replaces thymine(methylated) as a pyrimidine in RNA.
