Atoms of elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and atoms of metallic elements tend to lose electrons. Metals have few electrons in their valence shells.
By losing those electrons, these metals achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule.
Nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration.
An example is the reaction between calcium and oxygen. Calcium is a metal and has 2 valence electrons. Oxygen is a nonmetal and has 6 valence electrons.
Calcium gives up its two valence electrons and oxygen accepts them and an ionic bond is established resulting in the formation of anew compound namely calcium oxide.
Hey there!:
From the given data ;
Reaction volume = 1 mL , enzyme content = 10 ug ( 5 ug in 2 mg/mL )
Enzyme mol Wt = 45,000 , therefore [E]t is 10 ug/mL , this need to be express as "M" So:
[E]t in molar = g/L * mol/g
[E]t = 0.01 g/L * 1 / 45,000
[E]t = 2.22*10⁻⁷
Vmax = 0.758 umole/min/ per mL
= 758 mmole/L/min
=758000 mole/L/min => 758000 M
Therefore :
Kcat = Vmax/ [E]t
Kcat = 758000 / 2.2*10⁻⁷ M
Kcat = 3.41441 *10¹² / min
Kcat = 3.41441*10¹² / 60 per sec
Kcat = 5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹
Hence kcat of xyzase is 5.7*10¹⁰ s⁻¹
Hope that helps!
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Depends of the size and comparison
Solid- particles are packed tightly together so they don’t move much
Liquid- particles are still close together but move freely
Gas- particles are neither close together nor fixed in place
