Answer:

Allele

Explanation:

An allele is a variant form of a gene.some gene have a variety of different forms which are located at the same position or gentic locuson a chromosone. human are called diploid organisms becuase they jave two alleles at a each genitic locus with one allele inherited from each parent.

hope this helps you. pls mark me brainliest if you feel this answer is good.

thanks. if do have any question pls ask in the comment section.

Explain the difference between a base unit and a derived unit

Scrat [10]

A SI base unit is the single and direct measurement unit for a physical entity. E.g. For mass it is kg, for time it is sec, A derived unit is determined by a physical equation with the base units, like for velocity equals distance divided by time, in SI units: unit of v (velocity)= m (meter) divided by sec (seconds).

Hope this helps!

Phosphorous pentchloride (pcl5 ) is used as a chlorinating reagent in chlorination of organic compounds. what type of bonding oc

schepotkina [342]

The type of bond that a Phosphorous pentachloride have is an Ionic Bonding. It is a form of chemical bond that encompasses the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions which serves as the primary interaction happening in ionic compound. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Phosphorus contributes 1 electron to each chlorine and all the 6 achieve 8 electrons in the outer shell thus creating an ionic bond.

Write a balanced nuclear equation for the formation of 28 Si 14 from beta-minus emission.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Phosphorus-28 undergoes beta-minus decay to produce

an electron,
a Silicon-28 nuclei, and
an electron antineutrino.

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$

Explanation:

In simple words, when a nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted to a proton. An electron and an electron antineutrino will be released.

$\rm ^{1}_{0}n^{0} \to ^{1}_{1}p^{+} + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

One way to tell whether a neutron is converted to a proton, but not vice versa, is to check the sum charges on the two sides of this equation.

Left-hand side: 0. Neutron is neutral.
Right-hand side: 1 + (-1) = 0. Each proton carries a charge of +1. Each electron (beta-minus particle) carries a charge of -1. Antineutrinos are neutral.

The charges on the two sides of this equation is the same. Hence this nuclear equation is possible (but not necessarily correct; however, if the proton and the neutron are in the wrong place the charge won't even be the same.)

Since the mass number of a proton and a neutron are both 1, the overall mass number of the atom will stay the same.

The atomic number is the number of protons in each atom. That number determines the symbol and the chemical properties of the atom. When one neutron in an atom is converted to a proton, the atomic number of the atom will increase by 1.

The atomic number of the daughter nucleus, silicon, is 14. It takes a parent nucleus with atomic number $14 - 1 = 13$ to produce a silicon atom. Refer to a modern periodic table. Atomic number $13$ corresponds to the element aluminum.

Also, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is 28. Since the mass number would stay the same in a beta decay, the mass number of the parent nucleus would also be 28. In other words, it takes an aluminum-28 atom to undergo beta-decay to produce a silicon-28 atom.

Complete the other details (electron and electron antineutrino) to obtain the equation

$\rm ^{28}_{13} Al \to ^{28}_{14} Si + ^{\phantom{-}0}_{-1}e + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_{\rm e}$ .

Which of the following elements is the most reactive? A. At B.Cl C.I D.Br

adell [148]

Answer:

B. Cl.

Explanation:

These are Group 7 elements whose reactivity reduces as you go down the group. Chlorine has a smaller atoms than the rest and has a stronger tendency to grab an electron in its valency shell. This is because its nucleus is closer to the outer electrons than the other elements.
