Members of which group easily lose an electron to form a +1 cation?

1 answer:

4 0

The alkali metals, which occupy group 1 of the periodic table. This is because the valence shells of these elements have only 1 electron, so easily form an ionic bond with a non-metal compound by donating this. A cation is formed by this donation, since there is one fewer electron orbiting the nucleus than there is in the atomic form - conversely an anion is formed when an atom gains an extra electron to become negatively charged.

Which of the following reactions is the least energetic? Question 18 options: ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi AMP + H

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is AMP+H2O→ Adenosine + pi

Explanation:

The above reaction is least energetic because there is no phosphoanhydride bond present with adenosine mono phosphate.Phospho anhydride bond is an energy rich bond.

As a result hydrolysis of AMP generates very little amount of energy in comparison to the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP.
