Saccharides are carbohydrates, molecules containing Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O). "Saccharo" means sugar in Greek. Also Greek, "mono" means one, "di" means two, and "poly" means many.
A sugar molecule is based upon a ring of carbons with H's and OH's attached. One sugar molecule alone is a monosacchararide, like glucose and fructose. Two sugar molecules bonded together covalently is a disaccharide, like lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar). Many sugar molecules (upwards of hundreds or thousands) bonded together covalently is a polysaccharide. Examples are glycogen (animal starch) and cellulose (plant starch).

Which is heavier einsteinium (Es) or europium (Eu)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Einsteinium is heavier

Explanation:

Atomic weight is what we are referring to when figuring out how heavy an element is and is measured in amu (atomic mass units)

(This is also the same as the molar mass how heavy 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of a substance or element is which is measured in grams)

The atomic weight of an element can be found on a periodic table.

Europium has an atomic mass of approximately 152 amu (atomic mass units)

Einsteinium has an atomic mass of approximately 252 amu.

Einsteinium has a higher atomic weight so it's heavier.

There's another easier way of going about it where you don't even have to think about the actual number and basically just look at the element's atomic number and position on the periodic table.

Eu is 63

Es is 99

As the atomic number increases on the periodic table this means it's number of protons is greater.

Protons lie in the nucleus which has most of the atom's weight so the more protons the heavier it is.

Einsteinium has a higher atomic number meaning it has more protons so we can assume it's the heavier one.

Hope this helps!

lawyer [7]

Answer:

In the first part of Lesson 1, it was mentioned that sound is a mechanical wave that is created by a vibrating object. The vibrations of the object set particles in the surrounding medium in vibrational motion, thus transporting energy through the medium.
