Chemistry

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

In the citric acid cycle, after the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C
Alborosie

Answer:

The carbons of the acetyl group oxidize which generate CO2, and in turn H2O.

Explanation:

The pyruvic acid that is generated during glycolysis enters the mitochondria. Inside this organelle, the acid molecules undergo a process called oxidative decaborxylation in which an enzyme of several cofactors is involved, one of which is coenzyme A. Pyruvic acid is transformed into an acetyl molecule and these are been introduced to the begining of the Krebs Cycle where the acetyl-group (2C) from acetyl-CoA is transferred to oxaloacetate (4C) to produce citrate (6C). As the molecule cycles the two carbons of the acetyl oxidize and are released in the form of CO2. Then the energy of the Krebs cycle becomes sufficient to reduce three NAD +, which means that three NADH molecules are formed. Although a small portion of energy is used to generate ATP, most of it is used to reduce not only the NAD + but also the FAD which, if oxidized, passes to its reduced state, FADH2

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

If a chain reaction takes place, the amount of energy released would increase exponentially, so in order to control the energy release, fission must be controlled without controlling a chain reaction, so the third option is correct.

Hope this helps!

A sample of CO2 gas has a volume of 2.7 L at 78.5 kPa. At what pressure would this sample of gas have a volume of 4.0L? Temperat
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

52.99 kPa

Explanation:

Initial volume V1 = 2.7 L

Initial Pressure P1 = 78.5 kPa

Final Volume V2 = 4.0L

Final Pressure P2 = ?

Temperature is constant

The relationship between these quantities is given by the mathematical expression of Boyles law. This is given as;

V1P1 = V2P2

P2 = V1P1 / V2

P2 = 2.7 * 78.5 /  4.0

P2 = 52.99 kPa
