Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Symbol of an alpha particle is $^{4}_{2}\alpha$ or $^{4}_{2}He$ .

This means that an alpha particle carries a +2 charge.

A positron is a small particle which contains a +1 charge. And, a positron is represent by the symbol $^{0}_{+1}\beta$ .

A neutron is a sub-atomic particle present inside the nucleus of an atom. Charge on a neutron is 0.

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is $^{0}_{0}\gamma$ . Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

Therefore, we can conclude that group of nuclear emissions from neutron, positron, alpha particle is listed in order of increasing charge.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

Which chemical class does phenobarbital belong to?

drek231 [11]

Phenobarbital is derivative of Barbituric Acid and Barbituric Acid is derivative of Urea. (structures shown in Fig below)

Urea has H₂N- group attached to Carbonyl Group (C=O), and such class of comounds conataining H₂N-C=O bond are called as Amides.

Result:
So, Phenobarbital belongs to Amides.

How does the arrangement of particles determine the physical properties of different states of matter?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Matter may exist in three phases; solid, liquid and gas. The state in which matter exists depends on the extent of intermolecular forces operating in the substance.

In solid particles, the molecules that compose the solid are close together because the molecules of a solid do not move from place to place but they continue to vibrate about their fixed position.

For liquids, the molecules that compose a liquid are in random motion but are less energetic than molecules of a gas.

In gases, the molecules are not held together at all. The molecules of a gas have the highest degree of freedom. They move from one point another at a high velocity.

Hence, the order of increasing degree of movement of the particles in different states of matter = solids<liquids< gases.

Solids have well arranged particles, the molecules of a liquid are a little more disorderly than liquid particles while gas particles are the most disorderly of all the states of matter.
