Answer:
Number of Protons 48
Number of Neutrons 64
Number of Electrons 48
Explanation:
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom
Answer;
Yes; this reaction be spontaneous if coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
Explanation;
The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of ATP to ADP (energetically favorable):
Glycerol + HPO42 ⟶glycerol-3-phosphate+H2O
ATP + H2O⟶ ADP + HPO42− + H+
Answer:
See detailed answer with explanation below.
Explanation:
Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.
Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.
Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.
In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.
The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.
Answer:
the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone
Explanation:
Marine zones are the divisions of the ocean. The ocean is divided into two basic parts; the pelagic or open ocean, and the benthic or sea floor.
The pelagic zone is further divided into five broad zones according to how far down sunlight penetrates and they are:
1) the epipelagic, euphotic, or sunlit zone: the top layer of the ocean where enough sunlight penetrates for plants to carry on photosynthesis.
2) the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone: a dim zone where some light penetrates, but not enough for plants to grow.
3) the bathypelagic, aphotic, or midnight zone: the deep ocean layer where no light penetrates.
4) the abyssal zone: the pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean; the water here is almost freezing and its pressure is immense.
5) the hadal zone: the waters found in the ocean's deepest trenches.
