What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.

__________ ammonium compounds are less effective against gram-negative bacteria and more effective against gram-positive bacteri
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Quartenary.

Explanation:

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are cationic salts of organically substituted ammonium compounds and have a broad range of activity against microorganisms, i.e more effective against Gram-positive bacterium at lower concentrations than Gram-negative bacteria.

It was also reported previously that monoalkyl QACs bind by ionic and hydrophobic interactions to microbial membrane surfaces, with the cationic head group facing outwards and the hydrophobic tails inserted into the lipid bilayer, causing the rearrangement of the membrane and the subsequent leakage of intracellular constituents.

Why are hydrogen bonds important for the properties of water?
zavuch27 [327]
Water has the special type of attraction called Hydrogen bonding.  The bonds between the Hydrogen and the Oxygen in each water molecule make a super dipole because the Oxygen atom is way more electronegative than the hydrogen atom.  These OH bonds can then be attracted to other H2O molecules.  If you have ever poured water up to the brim and there is  little bit of water that is poking above the top, hydrogen bonding keeps those water molecules from spilling

first the right answer is

Li + H2O = LiOH + H2O

then to balance it...

2 Li + 2 H2O = 2 LiOH + H2

so that we can have both side of the equation to be equal....
