IPSPs are local hyperpolarizations.

Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Inhibitory Post Synaptic Potentials are basically resultant of local hyper polarization and by then they degrade to depolarization. These are synaptic potentials which causes the neuron of post synapse to engage in lesser generation of action potential.

The local hyper polarization is achieved as the post synapse membrane has the negative potential more than that of resting membrane, then the condition becomes hyper polarization. In order to achieve so, the action potential must under go depolarization and hence it degrades to depolarization.

The isotope 106 46Pd (106 on top and 46 on bottom)
vazorg [7]

Answer:

4. 60 neutrons.

Explanation:

The given isotopes;

         ¹⁰⁶₄₆Pd

In this isotope, we can deduce that the mass number is the superscript and the atomic number is the subscript;

     Mass number  = 106

     Atomic number  = 46

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom;

       Mass number = Protons + neutrons

Atomic number is the number of protons

   

So,  Number of protons  = 46

Number of neutrons  = Mass number  - Atomic number

                                    = 106  - 46

                                     = 60

Number of neutrons  = 60

If you had a 0.5 M KCl solution, how much solute would you have in moles, and what would the solute be?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

37.25 grams/L.

Explanation:

  • Molarity (M) is defined as the no. of moles of solute dissolved per 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (no. of moles of KCl)/(volume of the solution (L))</em>

<em></em>

∵ no. of moles of KCl = (mass of KCl)/(molar mass of KCl)

∴ M = [(mass of KCl)/(molar mass of KCl)]/(volume of the solution (L))

∴ (mass of KCl)/(volume of the solution (L)) = (M)*(molar mass of KCl) = (0.5 M)*(74.5 g/mol) = 37.25 g/L.

<em>So, the grams/L of KCl = 37.25 grams/L.</em>

The total number of the elements above with 2 valence electron is ____.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

four elements

Explanation:

He = 1s²

Be = 1s² 2s²

C = 1s² 2s² 2p²

Mg = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Si = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

Ca = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most electronic shell.

He, Be, Mg, Ca these four elements have 2 valence electrons.

While Si and C have four valance electrons.

Electrolytes are defined as those compounds which: have covalent bonding produce less lowering at the freezing point than do com
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Electrolytes are defined as those compounds which dissolve in a solvent such as water to produce a solution which conducts electric current easily.

Explanation:

Electrolytes are chemical compounds that dissolve in a solvent such as water and dissociate into ions (cations and anions) which helps to conduct electric current. They can be solids, liquids, or solutions and examples include all ionic compounds such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, etc.

When electrodes are placed in a solution containing an electrolyte, the ions produced in the solution move from one electrode to the other. The negatively charged ions called anions are attracted to the positive electrode and the positively charged ions called cations are attracted to the negative electrode. This movement of ions generates an electric current. Electrolytes are also needed for the various electrochemical processes in living things and the main ions in these electrolytes are sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), potassium (K+), magnesium (Mg2+), chloride (Cl-), etc.
