Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are the molecules that intervene in defense against microorganisms, foreign cells and against substances that can cause allergies. They are also known as antibodies.

Explanation:

Immunoglobulin M is the first antibody produced on initial exposure to an antigen. It is also known as IgM.

It occurs as a primary response to the antigens against a particular baterium or virus. It is pentavalent in nature and has ten binding sites for antigens.

Therefore, it is concluded that when the body identifies a bacterium or a virus, it releases the antibody IgM.

Sodium has an atomic number of 11 and has a net charge of 0. When sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1. Why?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ .

In order to gain stability, sodium loses one electron and hence it forms a positive ion $(Na^{+})$ .

Thus, we can conclude that when sodium combines with chlorine, it has a net charge of +1 because sodium loses a negative electron when forming chemical bonds.
