Answers

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!!

Answer:

chewing gum

Explanation:

when chewing gum you'll likely think back to the last time you had gum. The trick is to study while chewing gum and, when you chew another piece of gum, you'll remember back to when you had it earlier along with the information that you remembered as you were chewing the gum.

The changes in the grape juice happened due to the alcoholic fermentation of the grape juice that occurs due to the presence of aerobic bacteria. The presence of yeast is the main reason behind the process of fermentation taking place. The froth is produced due to the presence of the formation of acid and carbon dioxide.

The free energy for ATP hydrolysis in vivo is actually > the standard free energy change of -30 kJ mol-1 because ________. a.
Julli [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

ATP is the energy molecule which on hydrolysis provide energy to the cells for metabolic functions.

In vitro, the standard free energy of the ATP is -30.5 kJ/mol but its value varies in the cell as the concentration of ATP and its products like ADP, AMP and Pi are unequal in a cell. The Mg2+ in the cytosol has the ability to bind ATP and ADP, as well as the time of ATP hydrolysis, differs from cell to cell, thus influencing the concentration of ATP and its products.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
