Answer:

B. 18

Explanation:

An atom, which is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, further contains certain particles called SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES namely: proton, neutron and electron. In a neutral/uncharged atom, the number of proton is equal to the number of electrons. The number of protons in an atom represent its ATOMIC NUMBER.

However, the sum of the proton number and neutron number gives the MASS NUMBER i.e. mass no. = proton no. + electron no.

Hence, according to this question which states that an atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35. The neutron no. can be calculated as follows:

Neutron no. = mass no. - proton no.

Neutron no. = 35 - 17

Neutron no. = 18

Which class of amino acids contains side chains that would be unable to form hydrogen bonds with water?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Amino acids with non-polar side chains.

Explanation:

The class of proteins that is unable to form hydrogen bonds with water are the amino acids with non- polar side chains. This class includes the amino acids

Alanine

Valine

Leucine

Isoleucine

Proline

Phenylalanine

Cysteine

Methionine

Tryptophan

These are the nine proteins which are considered to be strongly hydrophobic. All these amino acids are hydrophobic in nature due to their side chains. Glycine is not added to this list as it does not have a side chain.
