2) amine is the correct answer
Answer:
The correct option is: (D) would function as both an acid and a base
Explanation:
A carbon skeleton bonded to a amino group as well as a carboxyl group, will behave as an acid in basic medium and base in acidic medium. This is because the carboxyl group present in the compound will release a proton in basic medium and the amino group will accept a proton in the acidic medium.
<u>Therefore, a carbon skeleton which is covalently bonded to a carboxyl and amino group will behave as both acid and base.</u>
Answer:
A complex ion contains a central metal ion bound to one or more ligands
Explanation:
A complex ion is consists of a central atom or ion, that is usually metallic, called the coordination centre, and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ligands or complexing agents.
An example of a complex ion is
[Co(NH3)6]3+
Please go through the attached file for a proper representation of the complex ion.
Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
In an atom there would be three subatomic particles: Neutrons, electrons, protons. The smallest and lightest in terms of mass is electrons. This is because the nucleus is comprised of the protons and the neutrons, these have a greater mass than electrons as electrons has very little mass that can considered to be 0.
