Explanation:
We define the formal charge on an atom in a molecule as the charge it carries assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds of the molecule were shared equally between atoms irrespective of the electronegativity of each atom.
The formula for calculating the formal charge on an atom in a molecule is;
Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on neutral atom] – [(number of lone electron pairs) + (½ number of bonding electrons)] ·
The formal charge on the two nitrogen atoms in diazomethane is obtained as follows;
Middle nitrogen atom = 5 – 8/2 – 0 = +1
Last nitrogen atom = 5 – 4/2 – 4 = –1
The Lewis structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached.
Answer:
1. active site
2. substrate.
3. activity
4. cofactor
5. complex
6. coenzyme.
Explanation:
1. A substrate binds to an enzyme at the active site where the reaction occurs.
2. In a catalyzed reaction, a reactant is often called a substrate.
3 activity is a measure of how fast an enzyme can convert the reagent to the product.
4. An inorganic substance necessary for the function of some enzymes is called a cofactor.
5. When properly aligned, the enzyme and substrate form an enzyme-substrate (ES) complex.
6. A small organic molecule necessary for the function of some enzymes is called a coenzyme.
Ionic compounds are composed of two ions: a positive and a negative ion. For neutral ionic compounds, these charges cancel out. For example, NaCl is a neutral atom which comes from a strong acid HCl and a strong base NaOH. Because they are both strong, the charges balance out and it comes out as neutral.
