Electronegativity increases as the size of the atom increases. a. True b. False

1 answer:

5 0

B. False. Electronegativity is the property of an atom or element to attract electrons during a chemical reaction. If you look at the periodic trend for electronegativity you see Flourine has the highest electronegativity and Francium is the lowest. However, Francium has the largest atomic radius and Fluorine has the smallest (aside from Hydrogen and Helium). So your statement is false. The relationship between atomic radius and electronegativity is inversely proportional so a true statement would be: As atomic radius increases, electronegativity decreases.

Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit.

From above theory, statement A and B are correct.

Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.

Hence, Statement C is wrong.

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves. The statement D is correct.

Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. The statement E is also correct.

What is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction?

Mariulka [41]

"The reaction will absorb energy" is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction.

Option: B

Explanation:

The chemical bonds in the reactions are broken and formed as per process and contributed by three major steps: reactants, transition phase and product formation. Here transition phase is in equilibrium stage drived by activation energy, where bond is partially formed and partially broken, located at higher energy level then the starters.

The reactant's energy level is less relative to the products as seen in the endothermic reactions' energy diagram, which depicts that the products are less balanced than reactants. Here when the reaction is forced to the forward direction, then it direct towards the more unbalance entities. As energy is absorbed in the endothermic reaction from surrounding, thus the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction is positive.
