How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?

Chemistry

<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>

Which statements about allosteric enzymes are true?
Ainat [17]

Answer:

1,2 and 4 are correct

Explanation:

Enzymes that show cooperativity are defined as Allosteric enzymes. This cooperativity is of several types.

1) homotropic/homoallestery - positive cooperation

2) heterotropic/heteroallestery - negative cooperation

Activity of allosteric enzymes is regulated by other molecules (effector molecules)

Hence, statement 1 and 2 are correct.

Binding curve of allosteric enzymes:

For cooperative binding, binding curve is Sigmoidal curve

For non cooperative binding, binding curve is Hyperboilc curve.

Hence, statement 3 is wrong.

Allosteric enzymes have multiple active sites.

Allosteric enzymes are often multi sub unit proteins.

Hence, statement 4 is correct.
