Answer:

They become more stable because they gain or share valence electrons giving each oxygen atom a set of 8 valence electrons. They change because the number of valence electrons changes in a pattern that repeats in each period.

Answer:

THEY ALL INVOLVE FIGHTING PATHOGENS

Explanation:

The immune system which is involved in defending the body against infections are diseases involves three lines of defense which are all involved in fighting against pathogens. Pathogens are invaders which when introduced into the body causes harm and therefore makes us sick. The body's first line of defense includes the physical barriers such as the skin, mucous membrane; chemical barriers such as tears, saliva, gastric acid in the stomach. These helps to keep the pathogens from entering the delicate parts of the body and once the pathogens find their way out of the reach of the first line of defense, the second line of defense is initiated. This includes inflammatory effects, swelling, redness, phagocytosis by neutrophils and macrophages. The third line of defense is the actions of lymphocytes which acts on invading microbes. The lymphocytes are of two types; the B and T cells. B cells produces antibodies which fight the antigens and T cells attack the infected cells of the body. There is also the memory cells which keeps information about the invading microbes for future attacks. This enables the body to respond swiftly when next the same type of pathogens attack.

Molten gallium reacts with arsenic to form the semiconductor, gallium arsenide, GaAs, used in light-emitting diodes and solar ce

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a) 1.2g of arsenic b) 0.64g of arsenic c) 3.481g of gallium d) 3.806g of gallium e) 2.61g arsenic

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

Ga + As = GaAs, 1:1 mole ratio

a) mass (gallium)/ molar mass of Ga = 4/ 69.723 = 0.0574mol

Mass (arsenic)/ molar mass of As = 5.5/74.9216 = 0.0734, subtracting the moles from each other (knowing already that the ratio is 1:1), arsenic is in excess by 1.2g

b) repeating the procedure (changing the values)

It will be 0.0574 to 0.06593

Arsenic is in excess by 0.00854

0.00854* mass of arsenic (such must be done for the first remaining mole) = 0.64g

c) the mole ratio is 0.0574: 0.00747

Gallium is in excess by 0.05

Mass of excess gallium = 0.05* 69.723 = 3.481g

d) using the mass given, the new ratio is

0.128: 0.0734

Gallium is in excess by 0.054mol

Mass of excess gallium = 0.054*69.723 = 3.806g

e) using the mass again, the new ratio is 0.0574: 0.02,
