Which of the following accounts for the differences among the various amino acids

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is: b. the side chain

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain an alpha-carbon (α-C) attached to two functional groups- carboxyl group (-COOH) and amine group (-NH₂), and an organic side chain (-R).

<em>The carboxyl and amine functional groups are common in all amino acids but the </em><u><em>side chain is distinctive to each amino acid.</em></u>

<u><em>Thus the amino acids can be easily classified on the basis of the properties of this organic side chain</em></u>.

<u />

<u>Therefore, the various amino acids have different side chains.</u>

Is the sulfide ion (S2-) stable, neutral or both? Explan
emmainna [20.7K]

The stable ion the sulfur would form is the sulfide ion,
S
2
−
.
Explanation:
A neutral sulfur atom contains 16 electrons. We can know this because its atomic number is 16, which means there are 16 protons in the nucleus. Since the negative charge of the electrons cancels the charge of the protons, the sulfur atom is neutral. The electron configuration of sulfur is

2s

2p
6
3s
2
3p
4
. The valence shell (the 3s and 3p sublevels) contains six electrons, but it needs eight to become stable. Think of the octet rule. Therefore a sulfur atom will gain two electrons to form the sulfide anion with a charge of

Is h2so4 a Arrhenius acid
MAVERICK [17]
Answer : Yes , H2SO4 is an arrhenius acid

<h2>Explanations : </h2>

• An ,Arrhenius acid ,is a substance that ,dissociates, in water to form ,hydrogen ions (H+).

,

• In other words, an arrhenius acid increases the H+ ion concentration in aqueous solution.

,

• This can be represented by the equation :

H_SO_4^{-\text{ }}\rightleftarrows H^{+\text{ }}+SO_4^{2-}

• Therefore, H2SO4 is a strong arrhenius acid.
