Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.
We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2
Answer is D)
Answer: b. accepts 
ions from acids
Explanation:
According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions 
when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydronium ions 
in water.
According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates ions and a base is defined as a substance which accepts ions.
Here water is donating ions, and thus act as acid and ammoia 
is accepting ions from water and thus is a base.
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
Thus base is a substance which accepts ions from acids.
Answer:
9.5
Explanation:
Electrophoresis is a separation technique which involves the passage and the use of electric current in separating amino acid mixtures. The positively charged protein moves to the negative electrode while the negatively charged protein moves to the positive electrode which is in accordance to the law of attraction.
Proteins however perform optimally at the right temperature and pH. Studies shows that the optimum pH to separate a mixture of lysine, arginine, and cysteine using the electrophoresis method of separation is around 9.5
This problem can be solved directly using stoichiometry.
We can actually see that for every mol of P4O10, there are 4 moles of P.
Therefore the total moles of P is:
moles P = 88.5 moles P4O10 * (4 moles P / 1 mole P4O10)
<span>moles P = 354 moles P</span>
