Atoms of metallic elements tend to...

Chemistry

3 0

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 one or more nucleotide pairs are deleted from a DNA strand, this is known as a frameshift mutation

<h3>Define Frameshift Mutation</h3>

Insertions or deletions in the genome that are not multiples of three nucleotides are referred to as frameshift mutations. They are a particular class of insertion-deletion (indel) alterations that are present in polypeptides' coding sequences. Here, there are no multiples of three in the number of nucleotides that are added to or subtracted from the coding sequence. They may result from really basic alterations like the insertion or deletion of a single nucleotide.

<h3>Frameshift mutations' effects</h3>

One of the most harmful modifications to a protein's coding sequence is a frameshift mutation. They are quite prone to produce non-functional proteins that frequently interfere with a cell's metabolic processes and result in significant alterations to polypeptide length and chemical makeup. Frameshift mutations can cause the mRNA to stop translating too soon and create an extended polypeptide.

Draw one product that you would expect from the reaction of 1 mol of 1,3-butadiene and 1 mol of h2o, cat. h2so4?
Daniel [21]
1,3-butadiene is the simplest conjugated diene and undergoes 1,4 addition reaction in acidic environment.
Chemical reaction: CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ + H₂O → CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH.
CH₂=CH-CH=CH₂ - 1,3-butadiene.
CH₃-CH=CH-CH₂-OH - 2-buten-1-ol.
