<h3>Answer:</h3>

When a disulfide linkage is formed, the compound containing this new linkage has been <u>oxidized</u>.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Oxidation reaction is defined as,

i) Addition of Oxygen Atoms:

When oxygen atom is added to any compound, then the compound is said to be oxidized and the reaction is known as oxidation reaction.

Example:

Oxidation of Alcohols into carboxylic acids:

R---CH₂--OH → R---COOH

ii) Removal of Hydrogen Atoms:

When hydrogen atom(s) are removed from any compound, then the compound is said to be oxidized and the reaction is also called as oxidation reaction.

Example:

Formation of disulfide bond fro thiols:

R--S-H + R--S-H → R---S--S---R

Disulfide bond is quite popular in protein chemistry where it is formed in cystine from cystein amino acids.

Draw the structure for cis-2,3-dibromo-2-hexene.

padilas [110]

First, draw the 2-hexene. Th is is a molecule of six carbons with a double bond in the second carbon:

      CH3 - CH = CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Secong, put one Br on the second carbon and one Br on the third carbon:

    CH3 - CBr = CBr - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Third, cis means that the two Br are placed in opposed positions, this is drawn with one Br up and the other down. So, you need to represent the position of the Br in the space:

      H   Br        H    H      H
       |    |           |       |    |
H - C - C = C - C - C - C - H
       |           |    |       |    |
      H          Br H     H      H

The important fact to realize is that the two Br are in opposed sides of the molecule.

The body uses atoms in different ways to accomplish different tasks. For example, one portion of the body's calcium supply stren

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

c. the bone contains calcium salts, which are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 % of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.
