Answer:

In the n=1 energy level, the atom has 2 electrons

Explanation:

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in multiple rings (energy levels). The first ring of the electron can only hold 2 electrons. After that, electrons are added to the second ring. Excluding the first ring, all other rings can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

For example, Oxygen is an atom with 6 electrons. The first energy level contains 2 electrons, and the second energy level contains 4 electrons. The second energy level has room for up to 4 more electrons.

In your example of an atom with 15 electrons, there would be 2 electrons in the first ring, 8 electrons in the second ring, and 5 electrons in the third and final ring.

To summarize, <em>all </em>atoms have a first energy level containing 2 electrons, and all other energy levels can contain 8 electrons. This is true no matter the number of electrons.

In which of the following ways are DNA and mRNA different?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

DNA:

Dexoyribonucleic acid is the genetic material of almost all the organisms except some virus. DNA contains deoxyribose sugar that lacks 2'OH group on second carbon. The nitrogenous base pair of DNA are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. DNA cannot acts as an enzyme.

RNA:

Ribonucleic acid is present as genetic material in few viruses only. RNA contains oxyribose sugar that has 2'OH group at second position. The nitrogenous base pair of RNA are adenine, guanine, uracil and cytosine. RNA can acts as any enzyme in biological reactions.
