Since this is Argon it would be a noble gas
Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
Answer:Non-covalent bonds
Explanation:
The Non-covalent bonds are bonds such as van der Waals forces of attraction, the Hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds and so on. The Non-covalent bonds are very important types of bonding in large biological molecules.
Just like the question says, the Non-covalent bonds, ''makes it possible for a macromolecule to interact with great specificity with just one out of the many thousands of different molecules present inside a cell".
Ionic bonding is also a Non-covalent bonding. They(Non-covalent bonds) helps in the stability of large macromolecules.
Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
