How would a disease that damages the nucleus most directly affect the functioning of cells?
RSB [31]

Answer:

Hereditary information in the cell would be destroyed.

Explanation:

The nucleus can be defined as a membrane bound organelle that is found in eukaryotic cells. The main function of the nucleus is that it controls all activities that is related to the growth of the cell and also reproduction. The nucleus contains the cell hereditary information(DNA).

The nucleus is the most important organelle in the cell, It can sometimes be referred to as the brain of the cell. Therefore any health related condition that affects the nucleus would directly destroy all hereditary information that is stored in the cell.

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.  

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.    

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

Why does the chemical reaction seen here obey the law of conservation of matter?
ss7ja [257]

Why does the chemical reaction seen here obey the law of conservation of matter?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • Because there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • As in chemical reactions, atoms bonds are break and new bonds are formed. As new substance are formed but overall they have same elements, no new elements come from outside or go to outside. In other words , rearrangement of atoms take place but number of atoms remained same.

                            NaOH + HCl -----> NaCl + H2O

  • As in above reaction there are the same number of atoms of each element shown on both sides .
