The reason the molecular formula for a disaccharide is not simply double that of a monosaccharide is because when the covalent bond is formed between the carbons of each sugar, an H of one is removed along with an OH from the other. This resulting loss of an H + OH forms H2O (water), therefore the reaction combining the two sugars covalently is called a "dehydration synthesis."
For example, in combining 2 glucose (C6H12O6) molecules, instead of it being 2 × C6H12O6 = C12H24O12, the dehydration synthesis removes 1 H2O to make room for the C-C covalent bond between the two sugars' carbons. Therefore it is 2 H's and 1 O less than that doubling, or: C12H22O11
Answer:
Critical coordinate drivers incorporate living space alter, climate alter, obtrusive species, over exploitation, and contamination. Most of the coordinate drivers of corruption in biological systems and biodiversity right now stay steady or are developing in escalated in most biological systems.
Explanation:
Answer:
The vertical columns (group) of the periodic table are arranged such that all it's elements have the same number of valence electrons. All elements within a certain group thus group share similar properties.
Explanation:
It is the motion of particles that creates a form of energy called heat (or thermal) energy that is present in all matter. Tiny particles in solids, liquids and gases are always in motion. It is the motion of particles that creates a form of energy called thermal (heat) energy that is present in all matter.
The number of the valence electrons determines the oxidation state i.e. oxidation number e.g. oxygen has 6 valence electrons the oxidation number is -2 that its need to fill up an octet structure.
