Hydrogen has 1 electron

It can either lose it or gain another electron to reach duplex state
It has the properties of cations as well as anions hence it can come under Alkali metals and Halogens
So we put it on both sides as we don't know where to put it The IPUAC is deciding on where to put it

Are the elements anions or cation and what's there new name if they're anions
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Cations are ions that are positively charged. They form when they lose an electron because they would have more protons than electrons. In your problem you have for example potassium (number three).

Iodine is a cation because it lost one electron. The ion symbol then would be:

I ⁺

So this is your clue. If it has a positive or a plus sign on top, that would make it a cation. Another clue would be if it LOST an electron, then it is a cation.

An anion, on the other hand, is negatively charged, because they gain electrons, making the electrons more than the protons. In your problem, you have Iodine as an example (number one).

Iodine gained one electron and the ion symbol would be:

I⁻

So again that is your clue for anions, they have a negative or a minus sign on top of the symbol. If they GAINED an electron, that would make them an anion.

Naming monoatomic anions is easy. They are named with the suffix -ide at the end. (Cations retain their name). For example Sulfur (number two).

Sulfur is an anion that gained two electrons with an ion symbol of:

S²⁻

So from the name <u>Sulfur</u><u> </u>the name will change into "Sulfide" and its name will now be <u>Sulfide ion. </u>

What would be the anti codon in the tRNA for the amino acid trp (tryophan)?
MrRissso [65]
How do the genes in our DNA influence our characteristics? For example, how can a gene determine whether a person is an albino with very pale skin and hair? Basically, a gene is a segment of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein, and proteins influence our characteristics. This chart describes how two different versions of a gene result in two different versions of a protein which in turn can result in either normal skin and hair color or albinism. DNA  Protein  Characteristic   Version of the gene that provides instructions to make normal protein enzyme  Normal enzyme that makes the pigment molecule in skin and hair  Normal skin and hair color Version of the gene that provides instructions to make defective enzyme  Defective enzyme that does not make this pigment molecule  Albinism (very pale skin and hair) A gene directs the synthesis of a protein by a two-step process. The first step is transcription of the gene in the DNA. Transcription produces a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. The second step is translation of the mRNA molecule. Translation produces a protein molecule. During transcription, the sequence of nucleotides in a gene in the DNA is copied to a corresponding sequence of nucleotides in mRNA. During translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA determines the sequence of amino acids in the protein. After translation, the sequence of amino acids in the protein determines the structure and function of the protein. Differences in protein function can influence characteristics such as normal skin and hair color vs. albinism.
