Answer:A cell is the smallest unit of life, also called the 'building blocks of life' because cells multiply and differentiate to form a multicellular organism as well as give rise to new organism by forming gametes or reproductive spores.

Complete the mechanism for the base-catalyzed opening of the epoxide below by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbondi
worty [1.4K]

Complete Question:

check the first image for complete part of the question

Answer and Explanation:

Epoxide is a three membered ring made up of two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Epoxides are cyclic ethers. Due to its ring size, it is highly strained and very reactive. Epoxide ring opening takes place with respect to addition of acid and base.

Ring opening of epoxide with acid:  

In the presence of base, the nucleophile attacks the epoxide ring at more substituted site and inverse stereochemistry takes place.(check file 2 attached)

Ring opening of epoxide with base:  

The backside attack of nucleophile takes place in less substituted site and then it undergoes protonation to form a product.

Rate how successful you were at using Active Reading skills by responding to the following statement: As i read, i paid attentio
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

It is possible to rate your active reading skills either by using a number is a specific rate or by using a word that qualifies your performance.

<h3>What are active reading skills?</h3>

Active reading skills are a set of skills that help you read actively; this means skills to effectively read a text and understand it.

<h3>How to rate your reading skills?</h3>

In this case, you are asked to rate your ability to pay attention to your understanding, thoughts, and questions while reading. To do this you can:

Rate using numbers:

  1. Select a specific scale rating such as 1 to 5 or 1 10.
  2. Analyze honestly if you used this ability while reading the text.
  3. Give yourself a number. For example, if you apply this skill only sometimes while reading you can rate yourself 5 out of 10.

Rate using words:

  1. Select the types of words that you will use, the most common ones are frequency words such as always, sometimes, and never.
  2. Analyze honestly your performance.
  3. Find the word that best fits it.

Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat
gladu [14]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.

18-19. If a sample for spectrophotometric analysis is placed in a 10-cm cell, the absorbance will be 10 times greater than the a
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

As long as it is a blank solution of the reagent, the Absorbance will be 0 regardless of the path length.

Explanation:

Absorbance of light by a reagent of concentration c, is given as

A = εcl

A = Absorbance

ε = molar absorptivity

c = concentration of reagent.

l = length of light path or length of the solution the light passes through.

So, if all.other factors are held constant, If a sample for spectrophotometric analysis is placed in a 10-cm cell, the absorbance will be 10 times greater than the absorbance in a 1-cm cell.

But the reagent blank solution is called a blank solution because it lacks the given reagent. A blank solution does not contain detectable amounts of the reagent under consideration. That is, the concentration of reagent in the blank solution is 0.

Hence, the Absorbance is subsequently 0. And increasing or decreasing the path length of light will not change anything. As long as it is a blank solution of the reagent, the Absorbance will be 0 regardless of the path length.

Hope this Helps!!!
