Why might two elements possess similar chemical properties

Biology
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
5 0
One of the reasons can be because their atoms have the same outermost shell electrons.

For example in elements fluorine and Chlorine, they both have 7 outermost shell electrons. We can know this because they're in the same group in the periodic table, which is group VII. Both of these elements have similar chemical properties, such as they both react with sodium to produce metal halides, which is a kind of salt.

However, note that their chemical properties will not be exactly the same, as they have different number of protons which distinguishs between different elements.

Complex nutrients are digested and then absorbed into the bloodstream as
Solnce55 [7]

Complex nutrients are digested and then absorbed into the bloodstream as monomers.

Nutrients from food can be used in the body only when are broken down to their basic units: carbohydrates in monosaccharaides, lipids in free fatty acids, proteins in amino acids and nucleic acids in nucleotides.

Those molecules together with water and minerals from the diet, are absorbed in the small intestine. The absorbed molecules are then transported into the bloodstream and carried to different parts of the body for usage, storage or chemical transformation. Some of the macromolecules are broken down in mouth (e.g. starch), or in stomach by the enzymes.

How might a cell be affected if the mitochondria stopped functioning? Explain your reasoning
Rudik [331]

Explanation:

These mutations can either be inherited or spontaneous. When mitochondria stop functioning, the cell they are in is starved of energy. So, depending on the type of cell, symptoms can vary widely. As a general rule, cells that need the largest amounts of energy, such as heart muscle cells and nerves, are affected the most by faulty mitochondria.

A client takes a home pregnancy test. While she is waiting to read the results, her phone rings. When she gets off the phone 15
Contact [7]

Answer:

Yes a false positive result will be read

Explanation:

Instructions on most pregnancy tests will tell you to read the results in a certain amount of time, usually from a couple of minutes. So you may take a pregnancy test and read it within the above time period as negative.

If you happen to keep the test around to look at later, you may notice that after that allotted time, the test now appears to have a positive result. This is called an evaporation line. It is not indicative of a positive pregnancy test.

What is Evaporation Lines?

Evaporation lines happen when the urine that was on the test area starts to dry out and evaporate. The chemical composition of that particular urine sample has now changed since that urine sample evaporated, sometimes causing the test to show a positive line
