Phosphorus is atmotic number 15 When it comes to bonding with other atoms, what is phosphorus most likely to do?

Biology

Phosphorus has an electronic configuration in the simple form 2,8,5 and a spdf configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

The valence electrons in phosphorus (the electrons available for bonding) are 5.  As a result, an atom of phosphorus shares its electrons with another atom to form COVALENT bonds.  This is ideal since it would take a high amount of energy to release these five electrons, and it would be unlikely for atoms to lose 5 electrons to donate to phosphorus.

Why is the inner core made from solid metal, while the outer core is made of molten metal?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the pressure on the inner core is greater than the pressure on the outer core and the melting point of iron, the main constituent of the core, increases as soon as the pressure goes up

Explain how Enzyme A acts as a catalyst in the reaction. Be sure to include energy and time in your answer.
amid [387]

Answer:

Enzyme A acts as a catalyst by lowering the activation energy the reaction needs in order to take place this would in turn lower the reaction time of the reaction lading to a faster reaction. when conditions around the enzyme change this may lead to the breaking of hydrogen bonds causing the active site to change in shape, this change would would lead to the substrate no longer being able to fit which would lower the rate of reaction.

An astronomer states that Star P has a lower absolute brightness than Star Q. How would you translate this observation for a non
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Star P is smaller than star Q

Explanation:

Absolute brightness is defined as brightness of a celestial object or star from a  Standard distance usually taken as 10 parsecs from Earth. If one star is brighther than the other then there can be two variable playing major role given that they are at same distance –  

a) composition of star and

b) Its size.  

The larger the star, the more energy it will emit per second and hence more will be its absolute brightness.  

Thus, star P is smaller than star Q

<span>DNA Paternity Testing is the most advanced and accurate method available for resolving parentage for medical, legal, or personal reasons.

Turnaround Time: With advanced DNA technology, paternity testing is accurate, rapid and affordable. Paternity can now be determined 3 to 5 business days after the samples arrive at the laboratory. Results are released immediately once the testing is completed.

Description: During a DNA paternity test, a buccal swab (mouth swab) specimen is collected from the child and the alleged father. Testing the mother is optional. The sample which is collected contains cells, and most of the cells in our body contain a full set of genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A person's DNA represents a "genetic blueprint" and like a fingerprint, is unique to each individual. At the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cell and specific regions of the DNA are amplified by a process known as PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for careful examination. The DNA pattern of the child is compared to that of the alleged father. Because the genetic information of a child is inherited from his/her biological parents, examination of the DNA of the child will conclusively determine whether the alleged father is the true biological father of the child.

Who should consider the Private Test option? The private home test kit option is suitable for individuals who wish to find out the truth about paternity before deciding on the next step. If a private test is ordered, a buccal swab (mouth) swab DNA kit is sent directly to the parties involved in the test for sample collection. The sample collection process is quick, easy and discreet and takes just minutes to complete. Once the laboratory receives the samples, testing is completed within 3 to 5 business days.</span>
