Answer:

D)They have the same number of valance electrons.

Explanation:

The elements in the same group have same number of valance electrons thus have similar properties.

Consider the elements of group two i.e alkaline earth metals. All have two valance electrons and show similar properties.

Magnesium, barium, calcium etc.

All alkaline earth metals form salt with halogens.e.g,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Ba + Br₂ → BaBr₂

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Ca + Br₂ → CaBr₂

They react with oxygen and form oxides of respective metal.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

these oxides form hydroxide when react with water,

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

3Ba + N₂ → Ba₃N₂

3Ca + N₂ → Ca₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Ba + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + H₂

Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂

Answer:

C) Six valence electrons, solid, nonmetal

Explanation:

Six valence electrons, solid, nonmetal. Element C is oxygen since it forms the -2 ion and is a gas. All the other elements in that column have six valence electrons, must be a solid and are nonmetals.

When the concentration of a substance differs from one area to another, this creates a concentration.

bija089 [108]

The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient. When a region has a higher particle concentration than another, this is known as a concentration gradient. A concentration gradient will cause particles in passive transport to diffuse down it from higher concentration to lower concentration until they are evenly spaced.

The gradual separation of a region of high density from a region of low density in a solution in terms of the concentration of a dissolved material. Understanding how ions and particles flow randomly in a solution or gas depends on the concentration gradient.

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. Its further metabolism depends on the organism and on the presence or absence of oxyg

murzikaleks [220]

The given question is incomplete. The image present in the question for Reaction A is attached below along with the answer.

Explanation:

Pyruvate molecule reacts with Coenzyme A in the presence of oxygen and it results in the formation of acetyl Coenzyme A and carbon dioxide.

The enzyme pyruvae dehydrogenase helps in catalyzing this reaction. As in this biochemical reaction $NAD^{+}$ gets converted into NADH.
