Answer:
The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element.
Explanation:
Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.
The percent composition of each element can be calculated as follows:
% composition = (mass of element / total mass) * 100
The total mass of the quarter is given to be 5.670 grams
Mass of Cu = 5.198 grams
Mass of Ni = 0.472 grams
Substitute in the above equation to get the mass percentage of each element as follows:
% of Cu = (5.198/5.670) * 100 = 91.675%
% of Ni = (0.472/5.670) * 100 = 8.325%
Answer:
They can both be used in an electric circuit.
Explanation:
Though conductors and insulators are very different from each other but still they have a similarity that "they can both be used in an electric circuit".
Conductors are the material that allows electricity to flow and insulators have high resistance and do not allow electricity to flow.
Both conductors and insulators are used in an electric circuit as conductor is used in wires, batteries and bulb to flow current while insulators are used in insulation of wire, switches, plugs and etc. Combination of them makes the circuit shock free.
Hence, the correct answer is "They can both be used in an electric circuit."
Answer:
cellular respiration
Explanation:
All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.
Aerobic respiration (oxidative phosphorylation)
- Use molecular O2.
- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O
- Exergonic
- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy
- Present in most organisms.
- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.
