Answer: C

Explanation:

Some poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons are not carcinogenic in themselves. However, when these are made to interact with living cells, enzymes in the cells could convert the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon into a carcinogenic material such as benzo-[a]-pyrene. This can now interact adversely with the deoxyribonucleic acid of living cells leading to genetic mutation, that is, irreversible changes in the genes of organisms.

Someone please answer the question attached.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Option ( 1 )

Explanation:

This atom has a cub close pack structure, and therefore - the number of edge center present in X atoms = 4,

Number of unit cells present in X atoms = 6

____________________________________________________

Now the 6th coordination number of X atom = 6 * 4 = 24,

So respectively, the 3rd coordination number of X = 8 -

And thus the ratio between the 6th coordination number and the 3rd coordination number = 24 / 8 = 3,
