Answer:
Cell division is the process by which a cell, called the parent cell, divides into two cells, called daughter cells.[1] When the cell divides, everything inside it divides also. The nucleus and the chromosomes divide, and the mitochondria divide also.
In mitosis, an ordinary body (somatic) cell divides to make two daughter cells.
In meiosis, a cell divides twice, to produce four gametes (sex cells). The first division of meiosis is a special kind of cell division called a reduction division because the number of chromosomes is halved. The second division of meiosis is similar to mitosis.[2]
Three types of cell division: left is binary fission as in bacteria; right are mitosis and meiosis as in eukaryotes.
Cells are the 'building blocks' of life, and cell division is a basic feature of life. For simple unicellular organisms like Amoebozoa, one cell division reproduces the entire organism. On a larger scale, cell division can create offspring from multicellular organisms, such as plants that grow from cuttings. But most importantly, cell division enables organisms that are able to sexually reproduce to develop from the one-celled fertilised egg (zygote). Cell division also allows for continual renewal and repair of the organism.
Answer:
Sulfur: -1
Carbon: 0
Nitrogen: 0
Explanation:
The thiocyanate ion SCN- can have only two resonance structures, which are:
S - C ≡ N <--------> S = C = N
In the first structure, we have one single bond and one triple bond, in this case, the negative charge is located in the sulfur. This is because Sulfur have 6 electrons and those electrons are present in the atom, (see picture below), and counting the electron that is sharing with the Carbon, the total electrons that sulfur has is 7 (It has one more than usual). Carbon and nitrogen are already stable with 0 of formal charge, because carbon can only have 4 electrons which 1 is sharing with sulfur and the other 3 with the nitrogen, and nitrogen have 5 electrons, three sharing with carbon and the other two kept it for itself.
In the second structure, the negative charge of the sulfur is transfered to the nitrogen, meaning that it has 6 electrons the nitrogen (formal charge -1) and carbon and sulfur with 4 and 6 electrons respectively.
Between these two structures, the most stable is the first one basically because Sulfur is a better nucleophile than the Nitrogen, and can form stronger hydrogen bond in acid, giving more stable structure.
Answer:
The three statements are true
Explanation:
For the reaction:
I₂O₅(s) + 5CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5CO₂(g)
State oxidation of iodine in I₂O₅ is:
5 O²⁻ = 10⁻
As you have 2 I and the molecule has no charge, <em>oxidation state of I is +5</em>.
The carbon in CO has an oxidation state of +2 and in CO₂ is +4. That means <em>the carbon is oxidized</em>
<em />
An oxidizing agent is a substance that produce the oxidation of the agent that reacts with this one. CO is oxidized because of I₂O₅ is producing its oxidation being <em>the oxidizing agent</em>
<em></em>
Thus,<em> the three statements are true</em>.
Answer:
2.08 moles (3 s.f.)
Explanation:
number of moles
= number of atoms ÷ Avogadro's constant
Avogadro's constant= 6.022 ×10²³
Thus, number of moles
= 1.25×10²⁴ ÷ (6.022 ×10²³)
= 2.08 moles (3 s.f.)
