The number of covalent bonds that an atom tends to form is equal to the number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are formed between non-metals by sharing of  the equal number of valence electrons between the two atoms. The valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom. These valence electrons share between the atoms and from bonds. eg. are NH3 and H2.

The sharing of valence electrons complete the octet rule and covalent bonds are formed.

Hemoglobin buffers the pH of the cytosol of RBC by combining with ______ions.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.
