How can valence electrons be used to predict the type of compounds formed?

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. Those are the electrons on an atom that can be gained or lost in a chemical reaction.
Elements that are left on the periodic table have relatively few valence electrons, and can form ions more easily by losing their valence electrons to form positively charged cations.
Nonmetals are further to the right on the periodic table, so they gain electrons relatively easily and lose them with difficulty.

A molecule of composition is replicated in a solution containing unlabeled (not radioactive) GTP, CTP, and TTP plus adenine nucl

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Explanation:

It would only be radioactive if the DNA molecule that employed the poly-T rand as templates. Its other molecule of the daughter would not have been radioactive as it did not need dATP for its replication. While each strand of the second molecule includes t, simultaneous reproduction dATP from both daughter molecules is needed so that each of those is radioactive.

Is there an optimum amount of baking soda and vinegar to put in a plastic soda bottle rocket? How would you figure that out?

Snezhnost [94]

Add 1 tsp. of vinegar to the canister at a time, filling it almost to the top. You need to add as much vinegar to the canister as possible without the vinegar and the baking soda coming into contact when you later snap the lid onto the canister. Depending on the exact canister, this may be around 5 tsp.
