Answer:
The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.
Explanation:
The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2
Answer:
Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).
- It melts once it reaches its melting point.

The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
