Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons present in a neutral atom. Whereas mass number is defined as the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, in the given periodic table entry for iron the atomic number of iron is 26.

Also, it is known that in a neutral atom the number of protons equal the number of electrons.

Therefore, there are 26 electrons in the given neutral iron atom.

Hence, we can conclude that the atomic number for iron is 26. The number of electrons in a neutral iron atom is 26.

Many foods must be refrigerated to prevent spoiling (microbial growth). Explain why honey (which is ∼82% carbohydrate by weight)

VLD [36.1K]

Answer;

-Honey contains a considerable amount of sugar (about 82% carbohydrate) and therefore when a microbe (e.g., a fungal spore or bacterium) lands on honey the process of osmosis causes water to be drawn out of the microbe thus blocking its ability to live and proliferate.

Explanation;

Antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit bacteria growth. Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which may account for some of its antibacterial properties. It also has a high sugar content, which can help stop the growth of certain bacteria.

-Additionally, honey has a low pH level. This works to pull moisture away from bacteria, causing the bacteria to get dehydrated and die off.
