Answer:

X= Be

Y= B

Z=O

Explanation:

From the description of the compound XCl2, among the options listed only beryllium can form such compound with three lone pairs in the two chlorine atoms and no lone pair on the central atom X.

From the description of YCl3, only Boron among the options listed can form such a compound with no lone pair on the central atom and three lone pairs on each of the chlorine atoms.

From the description of ZCl2, only oxygen forms the compound OCl2 among the elements listed where oxygen possesses two lone pairs and each chlorine atom possesses three lone pairs each.

Mr. Smith is hyperglycemic with a blood glucose level of 300mg/ml of blood. Explain how homeostasis would regulate his glucose l
aleksley [76]

Answer:

When the animal has eaten food and the blood glucose level in the body increases. The pancreas cells in the body detects the increase in the blood glucose which leads to increase the insulin hormone.

This decreases the blood glucose level in the level. This is how the negative feedback works in the body if the level of glucose increases.

Negative feedback is the way by which the body maintains homeostasis and maintains equilibrium in the body.

Which sequence represents the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas as explained by the kinetic-molecular the
Svetlanka [38]
<h2>Answer : Option C) Smaller volume - crowded particles - more collisions - high pressure</h2><h3>Explanation : </h3>

The kinetic molecular theory of gases explains that if there is small volume of gas there will be more crowding of the gas molecules inside the container. The crowded gas molecules will collide with each other and also with the walls of container as a result, exchange of energies will take place. Which will increase the pressure inside the container, and will raise the pressure than the initial pressure.
