Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
Answer:
the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances
Explanation:
The answer is <span>B. nonpolar.
Polar molecules dissolve best in polar solvents while nonpolar molecules dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. </span>Oils are nonpolar. So, they will dissolve best in nonpolar solvents. If you put oil in some polar solvent, such as water, it will hardly dissolve.
Answer:
Calcium ions.
Explanation:
The generation of the action potential helps in the transfer of information to the different body parts. This potential occurs to the difference in membrane potential inside and outside of the cell.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the homologous to the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The sarcoplasmic reticulum contains calcium ions in it and releases the stored calcium ions on the generation of the action potential. This calcium ion is important for the action of the actin and myosin.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
Answer:
The atom must lose its three extra electrons to make the atom over all neutral.
Explanation:
The three subatomic particles construct an atom electron, proton and neutron. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.
If an atom have -3 charge it means three more electrons are added. In order to make the atom overall neutral three more electrons must be removed so that negative and positive charge becomes equal and cancel the effect of each other and make the atom neutral.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e⁻
Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Proton and neutron:
While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P⁺
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
