Answer:

<u>The correct answer is X</u>

<u />

Explanation:

First have some idea about : Valency , Metals and non- metals.

Valency : It is the combining capacity of elements . The elements combine to other elements to gain stability . They always try to complete their octet(8 electrons in the outermost shell)

For Example : Na has 11 electron

Its electronic configuration is : 2 ,8 ,1 (2+8+1 = 11)

First shell contain maximum = 2 electron

2nd shell = maximum 8 electron

3 shell = maximum 18 electron

When it remove 1 electron from outermost shell , it is left with 2 ,8 configuration. Now , its outer most shell has 8 electron . so it get stable and show +1 valency.

When the element looses electron , it get positive charge

When the element gain electron it get negative charge

Metals: those element which show +1 , +2 , +3 valency are considered as metals

Non- metals = Those metals which show the valency of -1 , -2 ,-3 are considered as Non- Metals.

Questions:

1. T = 7 proton

Electronic configuration = 2 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

2. Q=15

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

3.X = 12

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 2

It loses (+ve charge) 2 electron to achieve complete octet( 2 , 8) = + 2 valency

It is  metal

4.Z = 17

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 7

It gains (-ve charge) 1 electron to achieve complete octet(7+1 = 8) = -1 valency

It is non- metal

<u>There is only one metal = X</u>

During beta-oxidation of fatty acids, ___________ is produced in peroxisomes but not in mitochondria. A) acetyl-CoA B) FADH 2 C)
stepan [7]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Normally, beta-oxidation of fatty acid occurs in the mitchondrial matrix, however, when the fatty acid chains are too long, the beta-oxidation occurs in the peroxisomes <u>where the oxidation is not attached to ATP synthesis but rather transferred (i.e high energy electrons are transferred) to O₂ to form hydrogen peroxide</u> (H₂O₂). This is the major difference between the beta-oxidation that occurs in the peroxisomes to that which occurs in the mitochondria.

7. A species is _ when its population has become so low that it is close to becoming extinct
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).

aivan3 [116]
<span>100 g of KClO3 @ 122.55 g/mol = 0.816 moles of KClO3
   by the reaction
 2 KClO3 --> 2 KCl & 3 O2

   0.816 moles of KClO3 @ 3 moles O2 / 2 moles KClO3 = 1.224 moles of O2 can be made using molar mass
 1.224 moles of O2 @ 32.0 g/mol =
