electron dot structure

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.

  • The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
  • The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
  • The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
  • Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
  • It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
  • The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
  • It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.

Along with removing drugs from the body, the kidneys also __________. A. balance pH levels B. release hormones that regulate blo
swat32
I think the answer must be B, although A is technically somewhat true too. Though the liver can regulate acid secretion, thus helping to balance the pH of blood by increasing or decreasing the acid secretion (can rid the body of excess acid through urine), the question doesn't specify that it balances the pH levels of BLOOD, and equally, multiple factors in the body have a role in balancing bodily pH levels, thus it is not the primary function of the liver. Thus, it must be B. The cells in the liver release an enzyme called renin, which activates angiotensin, which in turn activates the hormone aldostrene, which controls salt retention and elimination of potassium in the kidneys, thus affecting blood pressure and fluid balance. 

Hope I helped! x
