<u>Answer</u>:

Eye colour is one example of a trait caused by the concentration of melanin in genes.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Eye colour is decided based on two distinct factors- pigmentation of the eye’s iris and scattering of the light by the 'stroma of the iris'. It is a 'polygenic phenotypic' character in a human being.  

The pigmentation of the iris varies between brown and  black, that all depends on melanin concentration in the iris stroma, iris pigment epithelium and the cellular density of trauma. Further, the eye colour genetics are complicated and multiple genes are responsible for same.

What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

  • When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.  

  • On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, O_{2} is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Explanation:

We know that total energy

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}  ------------ (1)

Here h = plank's constant = 6.62 × 10^{-34} J s

c = speed of light = 3 × 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

\lambda = 261 nm = 261  × 10^{-9} m

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

E = 7.6   × 10^{-19} J

We know that

Total energy = Energy to remove an electron + K.E of electron

Energy to remove an electron = \frac{281.7 (1000)}{(6.023)10^{23} }

Energy to remove an electron = 4.67  × 10^{-19} J

K.E of electron = Total energy - Energy to remove an electron

K.E of electron = 7.6   × 10^{-19} -  4.67  × 10^{-19}

K.E of electron = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule
