When a metallic element is converted to a positive ion during a chemical reaction with oxygen, the element is said to be?

The metal is being <em>oxidized</em>.

Metals- along with other elements- are neutral and have oxidation state of 0 in their respective elementary states.

Metal atoms can lose electrons to <em>electronegative</em> elements such as oxygen on exposure. Atoms that have lost one or more negatively-charged electrons are no longer neutral and demonstrate a positive charge. Those atoms have converted to positively charged <em>ions</em> or <em>cations</em>.

<em>Oxidation</em> is the process of <em>losing</em> electrons whereas <em>Reduction</em> refers to the process of <em>gaining</em> electrons. "OIL RIG." Metal atoms here lose electrons and are thus oxidized.

Classify each amino acid by the chemical properties of its side chain (R group) at pH 7 . Select the amino acid that fits best i
Blizzard [7]

Answer: The amino acid that has a positively charged R group are LYSINE and ARGININE.

Explanation:

AMINO ACIDS are the basic structural units of proteins. Each amino acid contains an amino group ( -NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in its molecule. The carbon atom of amino acid to which the functional groups are attached is know as the alpha-carbon. In neutral solution, amino acids are mainly in the form of dipolar ions. Amino acids can be prepared through hydrolysis of protein by boiling with dilute hydrochloric acid.

Amino acids can be classified according to the chemical properties of its side chain (R group) at pH 7, these include:

--> Amino acids with POSITIVELY CHARGED R group

--> Amino acids with negatively charged R group

--> Amino acids with neutral polar R group

--> Amino acids with nonpolar aliphatic R group.

Amino acids with POSITIVELY CHARGED R group are those amino acids that has side chains which contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base. Their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, gaining a positive charge in the process. Example include LYSINE and ARGININE.

grigory [225]
A specific combination of bonded atoms which always react in the same way, regardless of the particular carbon skeleton is known as the functional group. These are specific groups of atoms or bonds within organic molecules that accounts for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.  Examples of functional groups are the Carbonyl group, alkyl Halides, aldehydes and ketones among others.
