1. 8 electrons

2. 10 electrons

3. 10 electrons

4. 8 from the oxygen atom and 1 from each of the 2 hydrogen atoms

5. 4 hydrogen bonds

Explanation

The atomic number of oxygen is 8 thus it has a total of 8 electrons. When writing the electron configuration for the oxygen, the first n shell requires two electrons to complete the 1st orbital. The fact that 1s holds a maximum of 2 electrons the next 2 electrons of oxygen goes to 2s orbital. The 2s orbital takes a maximum of two electrons and the remaining 4 electrons occupy the 2p orbital. The configuration formed will be 1s² 2s² 2p4 .The maximum number of electrons in the second shell is 2n²=2×2² =8 from the formula 2n² (the maximum number of electrons in a shell). The total number of electrons in the second shell is 2(in s orbital) +4 (in p orbital) =6.The number of unpaired electrons is 8-6=2

A water molecule has four hydrogen bonds, because it is made up of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. A water molecule has 10 protons and 10 electrons thus it is neutral. In the water molecule there is formation of covalent bonds where oxygen atom and hydrogen atoms share electrons though the sharing is not equal. In the covalent bond, the oxygen atoms attract electrons more than the hydrogen atoms.

Okay here is the answer you are looking for

1.) 6 electrons are in the n=2 shell

2.) 8 is the maximum number an oxygen atom can hold in its outer shell

3.) 10 is the total number of electrons there are in a water molecule

4.) 4 electrons are being shared between the atoms

5.) two bonds exist in this molecule.

Hope this helps!!

5. It is difficult to diagnose genetic conditions because they are rarely seen and once problems start presenting themselves not only would a diagnosis need to be made. But to prove it you would have to take blood from both parents to see why they together could produce genetic conditions.
6) Down syndrome occurs when you get a smaller number of chromosomes you are supposed to inherit from each parent during conception.
7) a silent mutation is a change in DNA but does not changes the encoded and has no phenotypic effect therefore the genetic sequence is not changed

Leviafan [203]

If a phospholipid is located in the outer layer of the bilayer in a vesicle, it will end up in the cytosolic face of the bilayer when the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane.

The lipids on the exterior of a vesicle will end up in the phospholipid layer on the interior (cytosolic face) of the plasma membrane when it fuses with the membrane. The extracellular fluid in the plasma membrane will be in contact with the lipids on the interior of the vesicle membrane.

What is a phospholipid?

Phospholipids are a subclass of lipids that have two hydrophobic "tails" made of fatty acids connected by an alcohol residue. Their hydrophilic "head" contains a phosphate group (usually a glycerol molecule).
