The phosphate group contribute the following functional features to the structure of phospholipids:
1. Negative charge to interact with water.
2. Place to attach another small molecule.
The phosphate group is made up of four atoms of oxygen which are attached to one atom of phosphorus. This molecule has a net negative charge of -3. In the phospholipid molecule, the phosphate enhanced the polarity of the phospholipid head by mean of its negative charge which react with water. Phosphate group also provide a point where other small molecules such as alcohol, serine, etc can be attached.
Answer:
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ exothermic
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) exothermic
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) exothermic
Explanation:
The question says predict not calculate. So you have to use your chemistry knowledge, experience and intuition.
A. N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) -----> 2NH₃ is exothermic because the Haber process gives out energy
B. S(g) + O₂(g) --------> SO₂(g) is exothermic because it is a combustion. The majority, if not all, combustion give out energy.
C. 2H₂O(g) --------> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) is endothermic because it is the reverse reaction of the combustion of hydrogen. If the reverse reaction is exothermic then the forward reaction is endothermic
D. 2F(g) ---------> F₂(g) is exothermic because the backward reaction is endothermic. Atomisation is always an endothermic reaction so the forward reaction is exothermic
The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. ... These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus.
hope this helped
Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O.
is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.
Explanation :
An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.
Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.
The given reaction is :
act as an oxidizing agent.
The oxidation number of N in is calculated as:
(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0
x = +5
And the oxidation number of N in 
is calculated as:
(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0
x = +3
From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number reduced this means itself get reduced to and it can act as an oxidizing agent.
act as a reducing agent.
The oxidation number of O in is calculated as:
(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0
x = -2
The oxidation number of O in 
is Zero (o).
Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means itself get oxidized to and it can act as reducing agent.
