The building  blocks of protein are amino acids.

Amino acids are a class of organic compounds that contain at least one amino group, -NH2, and carboxyl group, -COOH.

Alpha amino acids , RCH(NH2)COOH, are the building blocks  from which proteins are constructed.

The NH group of one amino acid and the COOH  group of the other amino acid are joined together and a peptide bond -CONH-  is formed between the two amino acids and the product is called a dipeptide.

What is hydrogen bonding
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

a weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

Explanation:

For example, in water molecules (H2O), hydrogen is covalently bonded to the more electronegative oxygen atom. Therefore, hydrogen bonding arises in water molecules due to the dipole-dipole interactions between the hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the oxygen atom of another H2O molecule.

How many moles of potassium are in 78.20 g?
Fynjy0 [20]
The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. 
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol

Sodium is going in group 1, period 3. It contains A. One valence electron in its 3rd energy shell B three valence electron in it
topjm [15]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, one valence electron in its third energy shell and option C, that is, 11 electrons and 11 protons.

Explanation:

The outermost electrons and the ones that take part in the process of bonding are termed as valence electrons. The atomic number of sodium is 11, thus, it possesses 11 protons and the atoms are neutral so it suggests that sodium has 11 electrons. By electronic configuration, it can be seen that in sodium, two electrons are present in the first shell, 8 in the second, and only one electron in the third shell, that is, 2.8.1. The electron present in the third shell is the valence electron.
