Rank the following elements by increasing atomic radius carbon aluminum oxygen potassium

Biology
1 answer:
Vlada [557]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller.  Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons

While moving from left to right in the second period, c arbon comes before  oxygen  and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than  carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al uminum comes before  potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum 's atomic radius will be smaller than that of  potassium  but bigger than that of  carbon  and  oxygen.

docker41 [41]

There are different kinds of Healthcare system. The true statement about hospitals in the United States is that Hospitals are owned and operated as governmental or not-for-profits institutions but they are not owned by for-profit corporations.

U.S. Healthcare coverage is known to be divided into 2 part. They are;

  • Public healthcare (government-funded)
  • Private healthcare (privately-funded)

Hospitals often offer basic care to the sick. They treat illness and do simple surgery. Their work includes removal of gallstones etc. The hospitals are not set up to make profit but too help people.

Describe one way in which ribosomes interact with organelles. How would having a larger number of ribosomes benefit a cell? In y
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Ribosomes are the machinery of protein synthesis in the cell. They are associated with different organelle of the cell. They are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The organelle which ribosomes interact are plasma membrane in prokaryotes and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) in eukaryotic cell. Ribosomes are present on the surface of the ER and helps in protein synthesis in the ER. In prokaryotes, there is no ER so it is associated with plasma membrane and perform protein synthesis.

The specialized function of ribosome is to perform protein synthesis and these proteins are necessary for cell because protein are important to make enzymes that regulate the metabolism of the cell. So if protein synthesis stops cell will not able to perform important metabolic activities to survive and it will die.

Having a large number of ribosomes benefits cells because it fastens the protein synthesis process in the cell. So large amount of protein can be produced in less time.
