MaRussiya [10]3 years ago

Explanation:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides while they react with water to form alkaline solutions. Also, acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals and they react with water to form acidic solutions.

Trends on the period table shows the variation of metallic character as you move across and down the periodic table. Metallic character of a element decreases across the period on the periodic table from left to right because atoms readily accept electrons in their outermost shell to form stable configurations. Metallic character increases as you move down the group in the periodic table and this is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases (more outer shells are added), where there is decreasing attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

So down the group, the acidity of oxide reaction with water decreases because the oxides are more basic down the group while across the period, the acidity of oxide increases because acidic oxides are formed as we move across the period.

For Mn3+, write an equation that shows how the cation acts as an acid.
Mkey [24]

An acid is a compound which will give H+ ions or H3O^+  ions

the reaction will be

[Mn(H_{2}O )_{6} ^{+3} +H_{2}O --> [MnOH(H_{2}O)_{5}]^{+2} + H_{3}O^{+}

Thus as there is evolution of H_{3}O^{+} the Mn+3 is an acid

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

D. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs89

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is composed of two long polynucleotide chains made of four types of nucleotide subunits, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). These nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds forming a phosphate-sugar backbone. <em>These strands are held to one another with hydrogen bonds between the base portions of complementary nucleotides.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
