Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?
serious [3.7K]
Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

What do proteins act as?
Tresset [83]

Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. These long chains are folded into particular shapes. This is important in relation to how antibodies and enzymes work.

Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are optimum temperatures and pH values at which their activity is greatest. Enzymes are also proteins. If the shape of an enzyme changes, it may no longer work (it is said to have been 'denatured'). maybe right?
