Answer:

A) C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}

Explanation:

A monomer is essentially a small molecule which combines with another molecule of the same kind to form a macromolecule. When two or more number of monomer units react together they form a polymer through a process known as polymerization.

Carbohydrates are polymers made of monomers units which are simple sugars. The chemical formula C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} corresponds to that of glucose. Starch which is a carbohydrate is formed by the polymerization of glucose.

H has a positive 1 charge. This means that having 3H = +3<span>.  This is a neutral compound so x= -3 because X+3H= 0

Y</span>X_{2} is also neutral so 2X+Y= 0
we know X=-3 So, 2(-3)+Y=0

Y=+6 charge

 
Answer: The valency of X is -3. The valency of Y is 6

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Iron is the element that is produced at the limit of the reaction.

Explanation:

In nuclear fusion 2 lighter nuclei are combined together into a single nucleus releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.

Up to fusion of iron the reaction of fusion is exothermic but when iron atom pops out the reaction becomes endothermic and it requires very high amount of energy to fuse iron atoms which is not available thus marking an end to the fusion reaction.

Does anyone know what Hydrogen's oxidation state would be if it was acting as an anion non-metal?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

yeah,The oxidation state of an atom does not represent the "real" charge on that atom, or any other actual atomic property.Hydrogen has OS = +1, but adopts −1 when bonded as a hydride to metals or metalloids. Oxygen in compounds has OS = −2. This set of postulates covers .

What type of reaction occurs when complex compounds are broken down into simpler substances?
Zarrin [17]
Complex compounds are broken down to simpler substances in catabolic reactions.

These kinds of reactions often occur in biological systems. In living organisms, complex compounds like lipids, proteins and complex sugar like cellulose are broken down into simpler forms. Products of these reactions are simple sugars, amino acids etc. but a certain amount of energy is also produced and stored in energy molecules for future use.
