Nonmetals have properties opposite those of the metals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
There are many compounds which contain triple bonds between two atoms. Few of the are as follow,
Nitrogen Molecule:
N₂ or :N≡N:
Cyanide Ion:
CN⁻ or [:C≡N:]⁻
Alkynes:
R-C≡C-R
Carbon Monoxide:
CO or :C≡O:
Among given compounds Alkynes belong to a class of unsaturated hydrocarbons. The carbon atom in alkyne is sp hybridized. These unsaturated hydrocarbons have their own characteristic chemical properties.
Answer: A sea of electrons
Explanation:
In a metallic bond, atoms of the metal are surrounded by a constantly moving "sea of electrons". This moving sea of electrons enables the metal to conduct electricity and move freely among the ions.
Answer:
The correct answer is "Secondary active transport".
Explanation:
Secondary active transport is a form of across the membrane transport that involves a transporter protein catalyzing the movement of an ion down its electrochemical gradient to allow the movement of another molecule or ion uphill to its concentration/electrochemical gradient. In this example, the transporter protein (antiporter), move 3 Na⁺ into the cell in exchange for one Ca⁺⁺ leaving the cell. The 3 Na⁺ are the ions moved down its electrochemical gradient and the one Ca⁺⁺ is the ion moved uphill its electrochemical gradient, because Na+ and Ca⁺⁺are more concentrated in the solution than inside the cell. Therefore, this scenario is an example of secondary active transport.
