Why would the cell membrane shrink when the cells were placed in the 4% salt solution?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elanso [62]3 years ago
8 0
In a salt solution, the water potential is lower than that in the cell. In this case, water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential by osmosis. Which where water molecules is now flowing out of the cell to the salt solution. Because the cell lose so much water that it now shrinks.
Osmosis is where water molecules move down the water potential gradient through a semi permeable membrane, which is the cell membrane in this case.

to show the electron configuration for an atom, when would it be better to use an orbital notation than to use a written configu
sineoko [7]

The aim is to use less space while demonstrating the distribution of electrons in shells

If you want to depict how an atom's electrons are scattered across its subshells, an orbital notation is more suited.

This is due to the fact that some atoms have unique electronic configurations that are not readily apparent from textual configurations.

<h3>How does electron configuration work?</h3>

The placement of electrons in orbitals surrounding an atomic nucleus is known as electronic configuration, also known as electronic structure or electron configuration.

<h3>What sort of electron arrangement would that look like?</h3>
  • For instance: You can see that oxygen contains 8 electrons on the periodic table.
  • These 8 electrons would fill in the following order: 1s, 2s, and finally 2p, according to the aforementioned fill order. O 1s22s22p4 would be oxygen's electron configuration.
