Answer:

They help stablize the strucure of an atom.

Explanation:

Take into consider isotopes where there are more or less than the ideal amount of neurtrons. These isotopes are radioactive and unstable to the point hey are used as atomic bombs. So with the proper amount of nuetrons it helps the atom maintain structure and not degrade

The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is 3.0, while the electronegativity of hydrogen (H) is 2.1. Knowing this, consider how the
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

NH3 is polar due to the bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen which have different electronegativity and due also to its asymmetrical shape.

Explanation:

NH3 is polar as there are 3 dipoles in the ammonia molecule that do not balance each other out.

Considering the N-H bond which is polar because N with an electronegativy of 3.0, is more electronegative than H, with an electronegativity of 2.1. The is overall asymmetrical shape of NH3

means that the dipoles remains unbalanced and do cancel out each other making the NH3 polar.

Proteins have a variety of functions within a living cell. Describe at least three of the possible functions of proteins, and ex
prisoha [69]
Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.

Nataliya [291]
Helium is a light gas.  Movement can be predicted by which chamber has the lighter gas(es) and which chamber has the heavier.  constant changes can also be a variable.  If the gas is constant, then changes are more easily predicted.
