A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

X  is Be

Y  is B

Z  is  O            

Explanation:

In order to understand the solution, we need to that the an element form a bond based on

1  The number of valence electron available in its atom

2 The  number of electron it require to attains its stable state i.e its Octet  state

        The number of valence electron for each of the option  are

                 F = 7,   N = 5 , O = 6 , C = 4 , B = 3 , Be = 2

 Considering the first element

           We see that  X is donating  two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state

Now looking  option we can see that  Be has two valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the electron so the correct option for this question is Be

Considering the second  element              

      We see that  Y is donating  three valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 3  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state    

    Now looking  option we can see that  B has three valence  electron in it atom and in order for it to attain its stable state it needs to release the valence electron so the correct option for this question is B

Considering the second  element  

      We see that  Z is donating two valence electron in its atom and it is donating it to 2  Cl as Cl  only requires a single electron to achieve its stable state, also Z has 2 lone-pair valence electron

       Now looking at the option we can see that  O has 6 valence electron so if it donates 2 valence electron it will still be left with 4 - pair of electron

   Therefore the correct option to this question is  O

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The answer to your question is   P2 = 2676.6 kPa

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 12.8 L                        Volume 2 = V2 = 855 ml

Temperature 1 = T1 = -108°C               Temperature 2 = 22°C

Pressure 1 = P1 = 100 kPa                    Pressure 2 = P2 =  ?

Process

- To solve this problem use the Combined gas law.

                     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

-Solve for P2

                     P2 = P1V1T2 / T1V2

- Convert temperature to °K

T1 = -108 + 273 = 165°K

T2 = 22 + 273 = 295°K

- Convert volume 2 to liters

                       1000 ml -------------------- 1 l

                         855 ml --------------------  x

                         x = (855 x 1) / 1000

                         x = 0.855 l

-Substitution

                    P2 = (12.8 x 100 x 295) / (165 x 0.855)

-Simplification

                    P2 = 377600 / 141.075

-Result

                   P2 = 2676.6 kPa
