Answer:

<em></em>

<em></em>

  • <em>The halogens posses </em><u><em>seven </em></u><em>valence electrons</em>

Explanation:

  • <em>Valence electrons </em>are the electrons in the outermost orbitals of the atoms, which are the orbitals with the highest main energy level (principal quantum number).

  • Halogens are the elements of the group 17 of the periodic table: F, Cl, Br, I, At.

  • You can tell the number of valence electrons of the representative elements from the number of the group to which they belong. For the representative elements, the number of valence electrons equal the unit digit of the group number.

        This table summarizes it:

Group number        number of valence electrons

     1                                      1

     2                                     2

    13                                     3

    14                                     4

    15                                     5

    16                                     6

    17                                      7

    18                                      8

  • So, in conclusion, <em>the halogens possess 7 valence electrons.</em>

PLEASE HELP ME
ki77a [65]

Answer:

1.15 atm

Explanation:

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure is the sum of all the partial pressures of the gases present in the mixture.

Therefore we have:

Total pressure = partial pressure of carbon monoxide + partial pressure of oxygen + partial pressure of carbon dioxide

We were given the following:

Total pressure = 2.45 atm

Pressure of oxygen = 0.65 atm

Pressure of carbon monoxide = x

Pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.65 atm

Therefore:

2.45 = x + 0.65 + 0.65

2.45 = x + 1.3

x = 2.45 - 1.3

x = 1.15 atm

Create a graphic representation that illustrates the steps from gene to protein. Label and describe each step.
Vesna [10]

Okay so,

1) Translation- show the RNA strand attatching to a DNA strand with the complimentary base pairs. introns are spliced

2) mRNA leaves the cell and joins with a ribosome

3) Transcription - tRNA (clover shaped) reads each codon (triplets) which each code for an amino acid. The stop codons on the end tell the tRNA that the chain is finished

4) the sequence forms the primary structure (all peptide bonds) which determines the shape of the secondary (hyrdogen and peptide) and hence determines the shape of the tertiary structure of a protein (ionic, hydrogen, disulfide bridges and hydrophibic interactions)


Hope this helps :)

A chemical test has determined the concentration of a solution of an unknown substance to be 2.41 M. a 100.0 mL volume of the so
Oksana_A [137]

Answer : The molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol

Explanation : Given,

Mass of unknown substance = 9.56 g

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL

Molarity = 2.41 M

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of unknown substance}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

2.41M=\frac{9.56g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times 100.0mL}

\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}=39.7g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol
