Answer:

cation +2

Explanation:

A cation is a positively charged ion, while an anion is a negatively charged ion. Contrary to how it sounds, when an atom loses electrons, it's charge becomes more positive. Since the calcium atom lost 2 electrons, it is a positive (+2) ion.

How many unique 13C NMR signals exist in the spectrum for the following compound?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

                   Five signals exist in the spectrum of 4-methylpent-1-ene.

Explanation:

                   Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is the main technique used by Scientists particularly by Chemists to elucidate the structure of compounds mainly organic compounds.

                   There are different NMR techniques which are used to characterize different NMR active nuclei like ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ¹⁵N-NMR, ¹⁹F-NMR e.t.c.

                   In given case the compound will show five different signal for six carbon atoms. THis is because among the six carbon atoms two of them have same electronic environment means they are having same electron surrounding thus, they will share a signal at same ppm. Hence, the signals and each signal shown by each carbon atom is shown below.

Describing the Functions of Organic Compounds
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

  • Lipids: used for long-term energy storage
  • Nucleic acids: used for storing and transmitting genetic information
  • Protein: used for tissue repair and growth
  • Carbohydrates: used for energy

Explanation:

These terms simply have to be memorized, but understanding their structure can help you gain a better grasp of their functions.  Lipids have fatty acid chains with lots of bonds, so they are high energy.  Nucleic acids have pieces that can be rearranged into many combinations that can be read by certain structures.  Proteins are composed of different building blocks with different properties.  The sum of these properties is the function of the protein.  Lastly, carbohydrates have compact monomers that are extremely easy to break apart into energy.
