How does the average temperature change as the latitude decreases from the poles to the equator

1 answer:

4 0

As the earth is in the form of a sphere, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays at the earth's surface increases from the equator towards the poles and therefore the amount of heat received on a GIVEN AREA diminishes in the same direction. Temperature is therefore normally hottest near the equator and coolest near the poles.

What type of elements generally bond covalently, and how do they satisfy the octet rule?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.

Which Ion has the same electron configuration as an Ar atom

Troyanec [42]

Ar (argon) has 18 electrons

Cl- would give you 18 electrons
F- would give you 10 electrons
Li+ would give you 2 electrons
Na+ would give you 10 electrons

Cl- would be the correct answer

In acetyl CoA formation, the carbon-containing compound from glycolysis is oxidized to produce acetyl CoA. From the following co

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is important to recall that acetyl-CoA is produced either by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate derived from glycolysis, which is carried out into the mitochondrial matrix, by cause of the oxidation of high-order fatty acids, or by oxidative degradation of very specific amino acids. Acetyl-CoA then enters in the citric acid cycle where it is oxidized in the light of energy production.

In this manner, during such processes, there are some net inputs and outputs, therefore, they are sorted as show below, considering there some of them not classified neither as input nor output:

- Net Input: NAD⁺, coenzyme A, pyruvate

- Net Output: NADH, acetyl CoA, CO₂

- Not input or output: O₂, ADP, glucose and ATP

Best regards.

Consider the resonance structures of formate. the first lewis structure of formate has a central carbon atom. a hydrogen atom an

OleMash [197]

So,

Formate has a resonating double bond.

In molecular orbital theory, the resonating electrons are actually delocalized and are shared between the two oxygens. So the carbon-oxygen bonds can be described as 1.5-bonds (option B). I'm not sure if option C is correct, however, because the likelihood of both delocalized electrons being in the area of one oxygen atom is less than 50%.<span />

Look at the equation for the reaction for nitric oxide and oxygen. Do you think this is a single-step reaction or a multistep re

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

This is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Explanation:

From the collision theory, we know that it is super improbable for 3 different molecules (2 NO and 1 O2) to all hit each other at the perfect speed in the perfect position to make the products. From this, we can pretty confidently say that this is most likely a multi-stepped reaction.

Hope this helps! :)
