The mitochondria is the powerhouse of a cell. They are important because they are an energy factor for both plant and animal cells. They take the food you eat, and turn that as energy for the rest of the cell to use. It is critical that every cell has one to survive whether plant or animal.
Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
P³⁻ + Cl⁻ --> PCl₃
Explanation:
PCl₃: phosphorus trichloride. prefix in front of chloride is "tri"–meaning three.
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
Hope this helps :)
