Those tails are called hydrophobic. You can note the etymology: hydro= water, phobi = fear, aversion, dislike.
Phospholipds' tail is a long non polar chain, made of Carbon and Hydorgens, that rejects water (a polar solvent) and is attracted to non-polar compounds (oil for example). That is why that tails can atract dirt.
Celsius scale is related to kelvin scale by the following equation,
⁰C = K-273
°C = K-273
So as here temperature is given in kelvin, so it can be converted into celsius as follows:
So 20 K = 20K-273 °C
= -253 °C .
So, the 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.
So , -253 °C is equals to 20 K or 20 K temperature equals to -253 °C.
Balanced chemical reaction: 2KCl + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbCl₂ + 2KNO₃.
According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
KCl is potassium chloride.
Pb(NO₃)₂ is lead(II) nitrate.
KNO₃ is potassium nitrate.
PbCl₂ is lead(II) chloride.
Answer:
Neutrons.
Explanation:
Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).
The isotope of an element is denoted by
Where; X is the symbol of the element.
A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.
Z is the atomic number or number of protons.
<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>
<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>
<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>
<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>
<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>
<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron. </em>
