If an atom is in its natural state the number of protons will equal the number of electrons. This is because an atom naturally wants to be "even" and since protons have a positive charge, the atom will have the same number of electrons (negative) so that they cancel each other out.

The quick answer is 42 electrons would be required however, the question has a kicker in it, there should be between 42 and 50 neutrons there also if the atom is to be stable. with a marginal number of neutrons like 36 atom will be highly unstable and most likely self distruct .

<span> <span> <span> Where,
x₁ = -0.2508
x₂ = 0.0777
x₁x₂ = 0.3058

Inserting the values,

</span></span></span>
y = 1.15 - (- 0.0629508) + 0.0060606 + 0.935748

y = 1.15 + 0.0629508 + 0.0060606 + 0.935748

y = 1.3125862

How are nucleotides linked together to form a polynucleotide chain? View Available Hint(s) How are nucleotides linked together t
Maslowich

The correct answer is: In DNA and RNA, a phosphodiester linkage connects the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the 5' carbon of another.  

The phosphate of one nucleotide is covalently bound to the sugar of the next nucleotide in DNA molecule (or hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another sugar molecule (deoxyribose) to form two ester bonds). In RNA molecule linkage is between the 3' carbon atom of one sugar molecule (ribose) and the 5' carbon atom of another, (ribose).  

Hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is catalyzed by the action of enzymes phosphodiesterases.
