Answer:

Explanation:

Beryllium especially, but Boron as well both exhibit metallic characteristics.

The outside ring of Beryllium contains 2 electrons. It would have to take on 6 electrons to have a ring of 8. The same statement can be made about Boron (except that it would need 5 electrons to make 8). It is easier for the atom to give up 2 or 3 than than to take on 5 or 6. It would not be easy to have a 5 or 6 minus charge on it.

Mice21 [21]

$-NH_{2}$ represents amine functional group and $COOH$ represents carboxylic acid functional group. When these both functional groups are substituted onto a single carbon atom, then amino acid is formed.

The organic compound consists of $-NH_{2}$ functional group and $COOH$ functional group with a side chain is said to be an amino acid.

A: amine group is $-NH_{2}$ .

C: carboxylic acid group is $COOH$

B: amino acid represents $-NH_{2}$ functional group and $COOH$ functional group which are substituted onto a single carbon atom.

D: carbohydrate: the general formula of carbohydrate is $(CH_{2} O)_{x}$ .

Hence, amino acid is the correct answer.
