when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.

The electron affinities of the elements from aluminum to chlorine are -44, -120, -74, -200.4, and -384.7 kJ/mol, respectively. R
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Electron affinity increases when moving left to right of the period.

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.

Trend of electron affinity across the period:-

  • Across the period, the electron affinity increases as there is an increase in effective nuclear charge.  
  • Due to this, there is more force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons when moving left to right in a period.  
  • Thus, more amount of energy is released when an electron is being gained in the neutral atom to form anion.  
  • Thus, electron affinity increases when moving left to right of the period.

Thus,  

Al : -44 kJ/mol

Si : -120 kJ/mol

P :  -74 kJ/mol

S :  -200.4 kJ/mol

Cl :  -384.7 kJ/mol

Al, Si, P, S, Cl are the members of third period and thus, left to right, the electron affinities of the elements increases as can be seen from the literature values.

List the metals that form only one type of ionn (that is, metals whose charge is invariant from one compound to another).
Serjik [45]

List of the metals that form only one type of ion (that is, metals whose charge is invariant from one compound to another) is below,

Here , we have to list the metals that form only one type of ion (that is, metals whose charge is invariant from one compound to another) and have to identify the group numbers of these metals.

  • Hydrogen        H+
  • Lithium             Li+
  • Sodium            Na+
  • Potassium        K+
  • Rubidium         Rb+
  • Cesium            Cs+
  • Beryllium         Be2+
  • Magnesium  Mg2+
  • Calcium          Ca2+
  • Strontium  Sr2+
  • Barium          Ba2+
  • Aluminum  Al3+
  • Zinc                  Zn2+
  • Scandium  Sc3+
  • Silver          Ag+

Co is stable in both +2 and +3 oxidation state. So it can variable. Li only have +1 charge. So it is invariable from one compound to other.
