Answer:
Answer: (b) F
Explanation:
Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.
The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.
Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.
The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.
The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.
The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.
Answer:
1. Reflex Conditioning
Explanation:
Conditioning is an aspect of learning where a stimulus works effectively in producing a response from an organism. This response becomes regular given the type of reinforcement that is administered to the organism. The reinforcement is usually a reward that is given to the organism.
This is what is observed in the woodpecker. The stimulus or reinforcement which proves effective in producing a continuous response from the woodpecker is the abundant supply of the birds favorite bugs. This reinforcement makes it possible for the woodpecker to become conditioned towards returning to the tree.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3,5-dimethylhexane
Explanation:
As first step we have the <u>attack of the OH group</u> to the P atom in the PCl3 and one of the Cl atoms would leave. Then we will have a <u>rearrangement</u> to produce a <u>double bond </u>with the oyxgen on the OH. Finally the Cl produced will a<u>ttack the carbon</u> in a <u>Sn2 substitution reaction</u> to produce the halide with an <u>opposite configuration</u>.
Answer:
c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars
Explanation:
Phosphodiester bond is the bond which is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide to the phosphate group of the another nucleotide. These are ester bonds. These bonds are central to all the life which is in existence on Earth. These bonds forms the backbone of the strands of the nucleic acid.
The bond is formed by the linkage of 3' carbon atom of one of the sugar unit to the 5' carbon atom of the another succeeding sugar unit.
<u>Hence, the answer is:- c. a phosphodiester bond between the 3' and 5' hydroxyl groups of neighboring sugars</u>
