A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.
For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.
In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.
Answer:
1. C- Three.
2. A- Methionine
3. D- Translocation.
4. C- OH.
5. A - 5'
6. A - 3' carbon
7. A. adenine and guanine
Explanation:
1. A codon is a group of three nucleotide sequence that encodes or specifies an amino acid. This means that, during translation (second stage of gene expression), when a CODON is read, an amino acid is added to the growing peptide chain.
2. The codon that initiates the translation process is called a start codon. It has a sequence: AUG and it specifies Methionine amino acid. Hence, during translation where a tRNA binds to the mRNA codon to read it and add its corresponding amino acid, a tRNA with a complementary sequence of AUG (start codon) binds to it and carries Methionine amino acid.
3. Translocation is a process during translation whereby the mRNA-tRNA moeity moves forward in the ribosome to allow another codon to move into the vacant site for translation process to continue.
4. The sugar component of a nucelotide that makes up the nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) i.e. ribose or deoxyribose, contains an hydroxyll functional group (-OH).
5. A nucleotide consists of a pentose (five carbon) sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate group (PO43-) is attached to the 5' carbon of the sugar molecule.
6. The free hydroxyll group (-OH) of the five carbon sugar molecule in DNA is attached to its 3' carbon.
7. Nitrogenous bases are the third component of a nucleotide, the other two being pentose sugar and phosphate group. The nitrogenous bases are four viz: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. These bases are classified into Purines and Pyrimidines based on the similarity in their structure. Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) are Purines because they possess have two carbon-nitrogen rings, as opposed to one possessed by Pyrimidines (Thymine and Cytosine).
Answer:
A) increasing dispersion interactions
Explanation:
Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example, to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces <em>dispersion forces</em>, <em>attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.</em>
<em>Dispersion forces</em>, which are also called <em>London forces</em>, usually <u>increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons</u>, and <u>dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons</u>. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.
Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, <u>the only attractive intermolecular forces present are the dispersion forces</u>.
Answer:
Rate = k [OCl] [I]
Explanation:
OCI+r → or +CI
Experiment [OCI] M I(-M) Rate (M/s)2
1 3.48 x 10-3 5.05 x 10-3 1.34 x 10-3
2 3.48 x 10-3 1.01 x 10-2 2.68 x 10-3
3 6.97 x 10-3 5.05 x 10-3 2.68 x 10-3
4 6.97 x 10-3 1.01 x 10-2 5.36 x 10-3
The table above able shows how the rate of the reaction is affected by changes in concentrations of the reactants.
In experiments 1 and 3, the conc of iodine is constant, however the rate is doubled and so is the conc of OCl. This means that the reaction is in first order with OCl.
In experiments 3 and 4, the conc of OCl is constant, however the rate is doubled and so is the conc of lodine. This means that the reaction is in first order with I.
The rate law is given as;
Rate = k [OCl] [I]
