Answer:
FADH2 is a reducing agent.
FAD is an oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
The full form of FAD is flavin adenine dinucleotide. It is mainly a redox-active coenzyme which is associated with the different proteins and is involved with the enzymatic reactions in the metabolism.
FAD is obtained by donating or accepting electrons.
In the citric acid cycle,
succinate + FAD → fumarate +
Thus we see that FAD is an oxidizing agent while is a reducing agent.
Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.
Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.
An organic compound of the form is known as ketene.
The given ketene is .
The number of valence electron of:
The number of valence electrons in =
2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.
Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of .
