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!!

qaws [65]

Answer:

sigma subunit

Explanation:

Sigma subunit of RNA polymerase holoenzyme directs the enzyme towards the consensus sequences present upstream of the transcription start site. Completion of the initiation phase of transcription is followed by dissociation of sigma subunit from the transcription complex.

The protein NusA replaces the sigma subunit. The RNA polymerase leaves the promoter and starts the elongation

PLZ HELP!!!! I'LL GIVE BRAILLIEST!!!<br><br><br> How does a tobacco mosaic virus reproduce???
Dominik [7]

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a simple rod-shaped helical virus that contains single stranded RNA situated at its middle and is surrounded by a protein coat called capsid. After tobacco mosaic virus enters its infected host cells through mechanical inoculation, it removes its capsid to release its single stranded viral nucleic acid which is then transported into the nucleolus. The single stranded viral RNA actuates the production of specific enzymes (RNA polymerases) and it also produces another RNA strand (replicative RNA). The new viral-RNAs are transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and functions as messenger-RNAs (mRNAs). Each mRNA, ribosomes, and t-RNA, of the infected host cell all controls the production of protein subunits (capsomeres). After the production of the preferred capsomeres, the new viral-RNAs arrange the capsomeres around it which lead to the production of a complete virus particle (virion). The viruses then migrate from one cell to another. Hence, creating organized infection.
