It is group 16. That is, Chalcogens. They call it the oxygen family.
Answer:
Oxygen and Carbon are in the non-metal section. Both are in 2nd period while Carbon is in group 4A and Oxygen is in group 6A.
Oxygen has more valence electrons than carbon. I wish I could give you a more accurate explanation why on paper, but all you need to do is count the electrons on the largest shell.
Here's the orbital notation of Carbon: 1s^2 2s^2 2px^1 py^1
Carbon's largest shell is 2. Count the electrons on shell 2, and you get 4 valence electrons.
Orbital notation of Oxygen: 1s^2 2s^2 2px^2 py^1 pz^1
Oxygen's largest shell is 2. So, like with carbon, count the electrons on the largest shell. You get 6.
There is a way easier way of interpreting this where you do not even have to write the orbital notation. I wish I can explain, but just know the periods and the group numbers.
Hydrogen bonding is important in many chemical processes. Hydrogen bonding is responsible for water's unique solvent capabilities. Hydrogen bonds hold complementary strands of DNA together, and they are responsible for determining the three-dimensional structure of folded proteins including enzymes and antibodies
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
An Equipment grounding conductor are used to ground a non current-carrying metallic parts of any equipment. Its main function is to keep the equipment close to the ground potential as possible and is also allows a safer path for the ground-fault current to flow. If the equipment is grounded, all the excess current will go to the ground and will not damage the equipment.
Hence the answer is TRUE.
