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.

what will be the result of photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced
melisa1 [442]

Fewer hydrogen ions will be pumped into the Thylakoid when photosystem II being exposed to less sunlight more glucose molecules will be produced.

Photosystem II is the first membrane protein complex in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms in nature. It produces atmospheric oxygen to catalyze the photo-oxidation of water by using light energy. It oxidizes two molecules of water into one molecule of molecular oxygen.

Photosystem II the energy derived from absorption of photons is used to split water molecules to molecular oxygen and protons. The most important function of photosystem II (PSII) is its action as a water-plastoquinone oxido-reductase. At the expense of light energy, water is split, and oxygen and plastoquinol are formed.

love history [14]

Answer:

peptide antigens by MHC class II molecules

Explanation:

Helper T cells are activated by peptide antigens by MHC class II molecules. These antigens express on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). After activation, the T helper cells divide and secrete cytokines  to assist the immune response.

Hey, do you think you can help me with these questions? I'll give some extra points(can give more if needed)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

1. Both neutron stars and black holes are the corpses of stars that died in explosions known as supernovas. Black holes form when the most massive stars die and neutron stars form when stars not as large die. They both have a very strong gravitational pull, but a black hole's pull is stronger than a neutron star. Neutron stars <u>will turn into</u> black holes if the force of gravity breaks the resistance of electrons.

2. White dwarfs are degenerate, which means they can compress matter. The material in a white dwarf no longer undergoes fusion reactions, so it is supported only by electron degeneracy pressure. This causes it to be extremely dense, saving space and energy.

3. A light year is the distance light travels in a year while an astronomical unit is the average distance between the earth and the sun.

4. A convection zone transfers energy by radiation and conduction.

Why does globalization often increase environmental damage?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Due to technology being ubiquitous, more and more gadgets that are produced are consuming more and more energy. This means that there is a need for cheap energy. Currently, cheaper sources of energy are non-renewable such as coal and crude oil. These pollute the environment causing climate change.
