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!!

What is the relationship among genes, chromosomes, and DNA?
horsena [70]
Chromosomes makes up genes while genes and chromosomes make up the entirety of DNA. A living organism inherits 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. These chromosomes are not genes but they form genes, which are just the traits of an individual that are unique. DNA is the entire make up of an organism that controls everything about a person such as likelihood to have disease or their physical appearance.

Why are red blood cells unable to replace damaged proteins
Rainbow [258]

The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as the nucleus, ribosomes, and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly, and repair. In other words, they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able to satisfy the central dogma which summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding this information, which results in the making of protein.

How do the new strands compare to the original strand from which they came?
zzz [600]

Answer: The hydrogen bonds holding the base pairs together in a DNA molecule are relatively weak compared to other chemical bonds. ... The new nucleotides join together to form the sugar-phosphate backbone of a new strand of DNA. The result is two DNA molecules identical to the original.
