Answer:
- <em>During the polymerization of a 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule,</em> <u>19 molecules of water are released.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
In simple terms, <em>cellulose </em>is the biopolymer formed by many glucose units. This is cellulose is the polymer and glucose is the monomer.
To have a <em>20 monomer-long cellulose molecule</em>, 20 monomers have been chemically bonded by reacting 19 times, as it is explained in the next paragrpahs, and so 19 molecules of water have been released.
You can imaging the polymerization process as a step-by-step reaction in which the first step is the condensation reaction of one glucose molelecule to produce a 2 monomer-long chain, with the release of one molecule of water: the second step would be the condensation reaction between the 2 monomer-long chain with another glucose molecule, with the release of an additional molecule of water, and so on, until 19 condensation reactions happen, to obtain the 20 monomer-long cellulose molecule.
Condensation is the loss of water in a chemical reaction.
When two glucose molecules react together, condensation occurs. One OH group from each glucose molecule come together, the OH from one glucose molecule combines with the H part of the OH from the other glucose molecule, to form H₂O (water that is released).
The two glucose molecules (monomers) will form one bigger molecule where the two glucose monomers are bonded through the oxygen atom that did not form part of the water molecule released.
Then, a 20-monomer chain means 19 condenstation reactions, with the release of 19 molecules of water.
Carbon atomic number ⇒ 6
Carbon mass number ⇒ 12.
Carbon atomic number - Carbon mass number = number of neutrons.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.
Proton charge ⇒ +1
The total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom ⇒⇒⇒ +6.
So the naswer is (3) +6
Element M reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula MF₄. The M cation has 18 electrons. Element M is Sn.
<h3>What is Ionic Compound ?</h3>
An ionic compound is defined as the compound made up of ions that formed charge particles when an atom loses or gains electrons.
<h3>What is Cation ?</h3>
Cations are positively charged ions. It forms when an element lose one or more electrons.
The cation which has 18 electrons is Sn. Sn react with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula SnF₄ because Sn is large and F is very small in size.
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Element M reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound with the formula MF₄. The M cation has 18 electrons. Element M is Sn.

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell
This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.
Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:
