Answer:

A. Decrease

B. Increase

Explanation:

A. A lysine side chain is brought into proximity:

lysine is basic in its nature, it would have to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and also weak interactions existing among the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bond. This would then reduce or decrease the pH and thus pKa of the protein.

B. The effect of this on pKA is an increase on the pKA. The carboxyl group is acidic. When it is removed, it would then cause the pKA to be increased. There would be accumulation of more negative change by basic amino acids increasing the pKA.

BartSMP [9]

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.

Answer:

The relative strength of the four intermolecular forces is: Ionic > Hydrogen bonding > dipole dipole > Van der Waals dispersion forces. ...

Boiling points increase as the number of carbons is increased.

Branching decreases boiling point.
