Answer:
8
Explanation:
Hydrogen has 1 Valence electron, and H2O has 2 Hydrogen. Oxygen has 6 Valence electrons so do 2+6 = 8. 8 Valence electrons! (Or one full shell not consisting of the first shell.)
7669; since we are looking for the nearest 10’s we look at the last two digits, it’s 70, so all we need to do is go down 1 to have the “greatest whole number” ;)
Answer:
A. pH
Explanation:
Denaturation of proteins is a protein whereby the protein molecule loses its primary structure and ultimately its physical functioning as a result of factors including pH, temperature or concentration of chemicals. Based on this definition, it is visible that denaturation of proteins can be caused by these three factors: pH, chemical and temperature.
However, in this case of PEPSIN enzyme, which is a proteinous molecule produced in the stomach of humans and functions in breaking down proteins, its denaturation occurs as it moves along the digestive tract to the intestines. This is as a result of the changes in pH in the digestive tract.
The pH of the stomach where pepsin is produced is acidic i.e. <3.0. However, as one moves towards the intestine, the pH increases, which is unfavorable or considered harsh for the pepsin enzyme. Hence, it gets denatured.

The amount of uranium within nuclear fuel rods is enough to sustain a chain reaction but is less than the critical mass necessary for the reaction to become explosive.
