The amount of an enzyme that will catalyze the reaction of 1 micromole of substrate in 1 minute defines what unit of activity?

Chemistry

Answer:

The enzyme unit

Explanation:

Enzymes are catalyst, meaning that they make chemical reactions faster.

For measuring the catalytic activity of an enzyme there are two common units <em>The enzyme unit</em> and <em>The Katal.</em>

The first one is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of 1 micromole of substrate in a minute, on the other hand the katal is give for 1 mole per second. Since 1 mol is a huge amount in terms of enzymes, it is usually use the prefix nano- (10^-9).

1 U = 16.67 nKat if you need a conversion factor.

Hope it helps!

Which of the following elements has the largest atomic radius?
adell [148]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

            Potassium has the largest atomic radius.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        Using periodic table trends one can easily compare the atomic radii of elements. The trends in atomic radii are as follow,

Trends in Groups:

                             Moving from top to bottom along the groups the atomic radii increases because as you move from top to bottom the number of shells increases hence, the distance of valence electrons from nucleus also increases and therefore, atomic radius increases.

Trends is Periods:

                             Moving from left to right along the periods the atomic radii decreases. This is because the number of protons and electrons increases but the the valence shell remain the same hence, causing more nuclear charge and more attraction between the valence electrons and nucleus.

<h3>Result:</h3>

           Potassium, Calcium, Cobalt and Nickle all are present in same period. Potassium present at the extreme left will have greater atomic radii of 0.227 nm while Co and Ni at the middle of period will have atomic radii of 0.125 nm each. While, the atomic radius of Calcium next to K is 0.197 nm.

Which type of chemical bond involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms?
mr_godi [17]
Covalent bond is the type of bond which involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms. 
This bond usually arises from the equal attraction of the nuclei of the two atoms for the electrons shared.

Ionic bond, on the other hand, arises due to the transfer of electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of the other.
