Elements can't be decomposed while compounds can be decomposed.

The answer would be (2) mercury because since mercury is an element, it cannot be broken down chemically.

(2) mercury cannot be decomposed by ordinary methods because it is an element, to "decompose" these you need an accelerated atom smasher to separate these into protons, neutrons, electrons, etc.

Explain what a glycosolation reaction is
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The glycosylation reaction or glycoside formation is an organic reaction in which the hemiacetal group of cyclists ketoses or aldoses turns into acetals, named glycosides. Reaction in the attached picture.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be found in an open-chain form or a cyclic form. For the second one, the carbonyl group of the aldehyde could react with the alcohol group of the molecule to form the cycle. As shown in the attached picture, the alcohol group of this cyclic form could react with an alcohol (like methanol) in acidic conditions to form an acetal. These compounds are stable at neutral and acidic conditions, but they hydrolyze at basic conditions. This reaction produces both acetals anomers (α and β) because the attack of the nucleophile (alcohol) could be from both sides. However, the most stable anomer will predominate.

List the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Ge2+<br> Please hurry
Nady [450]

Answer:

32, 30 and 41

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the number of:

    Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺

In this ion,

   We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.

Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;

So the number of protons is 32

Since the atom has lost two electrons;

  Number of electrons now is 32  - 2 = 30

Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.

50 POINTS!!!!!!!

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.

I hope I helped :3
