Why does onions burn your eyes?

Chemistry

eimsori [14]3 years ago

All onions contain chemicals called amino acids. One of the chemicals in the onion's amino acids is sulfur. When the onion's skin is cut it brings this sulfur into contact with special proteins, called enzymes (EN-zimes). A gas then forms, which can make your eyes burn if it comes in contact with them

Onions produce the chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide. It stimulates the eyes' lachrymal glands so they release tears. Scientists used to blame the enzyme allinase for the instability of substances in a cut onion.

Therefore saying that it produces tears from tear ducts!! HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! :)

Answer:

The increasing order of conductivity is O< Ge< Mn.

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity is defined as the measure of the ability of a material to conduct electrical current through it. The conductivity depends on the atomic and molecular structure of the material.

Metals are good conductors because they have a structure with many electrons with weak bonds, and this allows their movement instead non-metals have between four and eight valence electrons, which lack this tendency.

The conductivity increases in the periodic table from top to bottom and from right to left.

oxygen is a nonmetal therefore it is a bad conductor.

Germanium is a metalloid whose conductivity is greater than a nonmetal and worst than a metal.

Manganese is a metal,in this case, it is a good conductor.
