What is the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle?

1 answer:

4 0

THe bacteria that lives in the nodules of legumes are the only ones able to fix nitrogen gas into ammonia, which is later fixed by other bacteria in the soil to nitrites and nitrates that the plants can use.

some bacteria also performs denitrification, which converts ammonia back to nitrogen gas, allowing the cycle to continue

Atoms with a low ionization energy give up their outer valence electrons with ease true or false

umka2103 [35]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of an isolated gaseous atom.

General equation of ionization energy is given by:

$X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-$

If the outermost electron is loosely bound to the nucleus which means that the electron can be easily removed form an atom, it will require less amount of ionization energy.

And if the outermost electron is tightly bound to the nucleus which means that the electron cannot be removed easily from an atom. And hence, it will require more ionization energy.

Hence, the given statement is true.
