notka56 [123]

There are several types of surfactants, to name two: alkylbenzene sulfonates or detergents; and lauryl sulfate or foaming agents.

Alkylbenzene sulfonates are commonly used in the production of detergent soaps, these help clean the dirt from cloths and other materials, it also produces foam.

Lauryl sulfate or foaming agents are commonly used in the production of dishwashing liquid or handwashing soap.

What is the function of a Mitochondrion

gladu [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Function. The mitochondrion is the site of ATP synthesis for the cell. The number of mitochondria found in a cell are therefore a good indicator of the cell's rate of metabolic activity; cells which are very metabolically active, such as hepatocytes, will have many mitochondria.

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to anot

forsale [732]

The given question is incomplete . The complete question is :

In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?

a. The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged

b. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

c. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged

d. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged.

Answer: The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed by transference of electrons between metals and non metals. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron moves from one atom to another, the metal acquires a positive charge and the non metal acquires negative charge.

For example: $NaCl$ is formed by transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine , thus forming $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$
