Answer:
losing electrons and gaining positive charges. atoms that lose electrons were oxidized
Explanation:
It doesn't take much energy to remove one electron from a sodium atom to form an Na+ ion with a filled-shell electron configuration. The first ionization energy of magnesium is larger than sodium because magnesium has one more proton in its nucleus to hold on to the electrons in the 3s orbital.
Both processes use and make ATP
Answer:2py + 2py -----> Ï2py + Ï*2py
2px + 2px -----> Ï2px + Ï*2px
Explanation:
Molecular orbitals are constructed from atomic orbitals by linear combination of atomic orbitals. The 1s, 2s and 2pz orbitals overlap in an end to end manner hence they only form sigma bonding and anti bonding orbitals. The 2px and 2py orbitals overlap side by side and form pi bonding and anti bonding orbitals. Hence the answer.
