Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are in the same group in the periodic table. Sodium is in the 11th position. How many valence elec

8 0

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outer most shell of an atom or element.

Since both potassium and sodium are same group elements and it is known that elements of same group contain same number of valence electrons.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1.

Hence, we can conclude that there is one valence electron present in valence shell of potassium atom.

Potassium is just below the sodium in periodic table in s group !

so the valence electron of sodium and potassium is same and that is 1 !

Disulfide bonds are involved in maintaining ________ protein structure as well as the ________ level of protein structure exhibi
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

tertiary; quaternary

Explanation:

The orientation of all the atoms of a protein in three dimensions represents its tertiary structure. It includes the folding of the polypeptide chains in a way that brings are far apart amino acids of its secondary structure close together. Various segments of a polypeptide chain interact to form tertiary structures and these segments are held together by different kinds of weak interactions.

However, disulfide cross-links between the segments of polypeptide chains also stabilize the tertiary structure of some proteins. Likewise, disulfide bonds also hold the protein subunits of some proteins together and thereby, contribute to the quaternary structure. For example, two light chains of an antibody are joined together by disulfide bonds.
