Iron. It is at the center of the structure. And because they'll delete my answer if I don't add on: Hemoglobin is the oxygen binding protein of red blood cells and is a globular protein with quaternary structure. Hemoglobin consists of four polypeptide subunits; 2 alpha chains and two beta chains. Hemoglobin transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body.

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the diagram that completes the question.

Answer:

<u>(B) nonpolar covalent bonds</u>

Explanation:

This structure in the diagram rightly fits the description of a non-covalent bond because there is an equal sharing of electrons of Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl).

<em>Remember</em> too that these elements are in their solid-state, hence the CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) molecules are held strongly together.

Why do you think the transition metals are 10 columns wide?

Tasya [4]

The transition metals are 10 columns wide because they can hold no more than 10 electrons. This is why their width correlates with the number of electrons that are included in these metals. Transition metals include most commonly used metals, such as iron, copper, silver, and gold.
