What is the hybridization state on the central N atom in the azide ion, N3−?

1 answer:

4 0

The sp hybridization of the central nitrogen is consistent with the linear structure of the azide ion. In A, the terminal nitrogens may both be sp2 hybridized; after all the drawing looks similar to the double bond in ethylene.

Define thermal and electrical conductivity, solubility, magnetism, melting and boiling points

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

thermal conductivity: the rate at which heat is transferred by conduction through a unit cross-section area of a material, when a temperature gradient exits perpendicular to the area

electrical conductivity: the measure of the amount of electrical current a material can carry or it's ability to carry a current

solubility: the ability to be dissolved, especially in water

magnetism: a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects

melting point: the temperature at which a given solid will melt.

boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns to vapor

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.
