B. They contain only single covalent bonds

Although the side chains may contain double bonds, the main chain of a saturated fatty acid molecule contains only single covalent bonds, which is why it is referred to as being "saturated".

laiz [17]

I don't know who it was named for but the law is

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Make sure the pressure units are the same (atmospheres or kPa usually) and that the temperature is in Degrees Kelvin which is derived from Celsius degrees.

Try Charles' Law for the name.

Part B Identify the sets of quantum numbers that describe all the electrons in the ground state of a neutral beryllium atom, Be.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

Explanation:

There are 4 quantum numbers:

Principal Quantum number (n) specifies the energy of the electron in a shell.
Azimuthal Quantum number (l) specifies the shape of an orbital. The value of it lies in the range of 0 to (n-1)
Magnetic Quantum number (m) specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. The value of it lies in the range of -l to +l
Spin Quantum number (s) specifies the spin of an electron in an orbital. It can either have a value of $+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$

Berylium (Be) is the 4th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^2$

For electrons in 1s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:

For first electron:

$n=1\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=1\\l=0\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

For electrons in 2s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:

For first electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

Nickel has chemical symbol Ni and the atomic 28. How many protons,neutrons,and electronic would be found in an atom of nickel-78

ira [324]

In nickel-78, there are 28 protons, 28 electrons, and 50 neutrons.

The protons is always the atomic number.
The electron would always be the atomic number when it's a neutral atom. (Different for isotopes)
The neutrons is always the number that makes up the mass with protons. You can figure it out by subtracting atomic mass by protons. (78-28 = 50)

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.
