Match each atom to the corresponding number of electrons it will steal or give away.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron

2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons

3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons

4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron

5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron

Explanation:

Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.

2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.

3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.

4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.

5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.

In which position are the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A. Moon is between the Sun and Earth

Explanation:

The new moon stage is the faze in which we can not see the Moon from Earth. In this stage, the Moon is lacking from the sky, or rather we can not see it because it is totally dark from the side that is facing the Earth. The reason for this is that the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is making half of the Moon bright as it always does, but in this stage it is the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun, while the other half that is facing the Earth is totally dark as it doesn't receive any sunlight at that time.

Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.
