Answer:

a. 63.2%

b. 11.7%

c. 73.3%

d. 0.995%

e. 55.5%

Explanation:

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).

The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(x_A - x_B)^2}) *100%

Where x_A - x_B is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:

a. x_{Ti} = 1.5

x_{O} = 3.5

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.5 - 1.5)^2})*100%

%IC = 63.2%

b. x_{Zn} = 1.6

x_{Te} = 2.1

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(2.1 - 1.6)^2})*100%

%IC = 11.7%

c. x_{Cs} = 0.7

x_{Cl} = 3.0

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.0 - 0.7)^2})*100%

%IC = 73.3%

d. x_{In} = 1.7

x_{Sb} = 1.9

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(1.9 - 1.7)^2})*100%

%IC = 0.995 %

e. x_{Mg} = 1.2

x_{Cl} = 3.0

%IC = (1 - e^{-0.25*(3.0 - 1.2)^2})*100%

%IC = 55.5%

What is the wavelength of radiation that has a frequency
White raven [17]

Answer:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

Explanation:

The wavelenght of  a radiation is inversely proportional to its frequency. It can be estimated by the following formula:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

Where:

  • \lambda is the wavelenght
  • \nu is the frequency
  • c is the speed of light (arroung 300000 km/s)

poizon [28]

Answer:

<h2>Actin and myosin.</h2>

Explanation:

The cells that allow your bones to move, the movement of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments during contraction .

During a contraction thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap  of each other.

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments extending more deeply into the A band.

The I bands and H bands decrease in lenght as Z discs are come closer together .

Sarcomere represents area between two Z disc, so the sarcomere gets smaller during a contraction .

The pKa of the α‑carboxyl group of serine is 2.21 , and the pKa of its α‑amino group is 9.15 . Calculate the average net charge
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Net charge in serine at pH equal to 8.30 is "0"

Explanation:

  • At pH > pK_{a}, carboxyl group exists as -CO_{2}^{-} (charged)
  • At pH < pK_{a}, carboxyl group exists as -COOH (neutral)
  • At pH > pK_{a}, amino group exists as -NH_{2} (neutral)
  • At pH < pK_{a}, amino group exists as -NH_{3}^{+} (charged)
  • So, at pH = 8.30, both carboxyl and amino group exists in charged state.
  • Net charge in serine at pH equal to 8.30 is "0".
  • Structure of serine at pH equal to 8.30 has been shown below.
