The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

If each NADHNADH generates 3 ATPATP molecules and each FADH2FADH2 generates 2 ATPATP molecules, calculate the number of ATPATP m

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

$128~ATP$

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway by which energy can be obtained from a fatty acid is called "beta-oxidation". In this route, acetyl-Coa is produced by removing 2 carbons from the fatty acid for each acetyl-Coa produced. In other words, for each round, 1 acetyl Coa is produced and for each round 2 carbons are removed from the initial fatty acid. Therefore, the first step is to calculate the number of rounds that will take place for an 18-carbon fatty acid using the following equation:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{n}{2}-1$

Where "n" is the number of carbons, in this case "18", so:

$Number~of~Rounds=\frac{18}{2}-1~=~8$

We also have to calculate the amount of Acetyl-Coa produced:

$Number~of~Acetyl-Coa=\frac{18}{2}~=~9$

Now, we have to keep in mind that in each round in the beta-oxidation we will have the production of 1 $FADH_2$ and 1 $NADH$ . So, if we have 8 rounds we will have 8 $FADH_2$ and 8 $NADH$ .

Finally, for the total calculation of ATP. We have to remember the yield for each compound:

-) $1~FADH_2~=~2~ATP$

-) $1~NADH~=~3~ATP$

-) $Acetyl~CoA~=~10~ATP$

Now we can do the total calculation:

$(8*2)~+~(8*3)~+~(9*10)=130~ATP$

We have to subtract "2 ATP" molecules that correspond to the activation of the fatty acid, so:

$130-2=128~ATP$

In total, we will have 128 ATP.

I hope it helps!

If 4.50 g of (nh4)2so4 is dissolved in enough water to form 250. ml of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?

natima [27]

The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a substance in one liter of that substance.
The molar mass of ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4 is 132.14 grams/mole
Calculate the moles of ammonium sulfate:
(4.50 grams)/(132.14 grams/mole) = 0.0341 moles of ammonium sulfate
convert mL to Liters 250. mL becomes 0.250 liters
Take the number of moles over the number of liters
0.0341 moles / 0.250 liters = 0.136 molar or 0.136M = molarity of the solution

How did Bohr refine the model of the atom? How did Bohr refine the model of the atom? He developed electrochemistry. He discover

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

He developed the concept of concentric electron energy levels

Explanation:

Before Bohr's model, Rutherford's model was proposed. This model explains most of the properties of the atom but failed to explain the stability of the atom.

As per Rutherford's model, electrons revolve around the nucleus in the orbit.

But revolving electron in their orbit around nucleus would give up energy and so gradually move towards the nucleus and therefore, eventually collapse.

Bohr's proposed that the electrons around the nucleus move orbit of fixed energy called "stationary states". Electrons in these stationary states do not radiate energy.

Therefore, proposal of concentric electron energy levels refine the atomic models.

According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?

4vir4ik [10]

Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as
According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq) → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)

What is a criterion for all products made using the process of technological design? The product must be cheaper than similar pr

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. The product must solve the problem for which it was designed.

Explanation:

Technological design is the study, development and application of technological process with the intent of designing a product to solve required problem.The process could be based on the use of a computer.

Generally, technological process and development always tend to design a problem solver product. Through this process, more new technologies are produced.

Therefore in technological process, the product must solve the problem for which it was designed.
