Explanation:

Carbohydrates covalently linked to proteins (glycoproteins) or lipids (glycolipids) are also a part of cell membranes, and function as adhesion and address loci for cells. The Fluid Mosaic Model describes membranes as a fluid lipid bilayer with floating proteins and carbohydrates.

Sodium is much more apt to exist as a cation than chlorine because:

8090 [49]

Answer:

(D) chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium

Explanation:

Sodium is the element of the group 1 and period 3 which means that the valence electronic configuration is $[Ne]3s^1$ .

Chlorine is the element of the group 17 and period 3 which means that the valence electronic configuration is $[Ne]3s^23p^5$ .

Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.

<u>Thus, removal of one electron in sodium is easy as it will gain noble gas configuration and become stable. But this case does not exist in chlorine and hence, chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium.</u>

So,

Sodium is much more apt to exist as a cation than chlorine because chlorine has a greater ionization energy than sodium.

What is the normal ph of rain?

Nuetrik [128]

Since rain is water getting evaporated and condensed, it's equivalent to being distilled. Distilled water is pure water, so I'd guess the normal pH of rain is 7 - which is neutral (neither acidic nor alkaline)

However, when Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides mix into the clouds, acid rain could be produced. This isn't "normal rain", though

What gives carbon the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length?

romanna [79]

Answer: it has 4 electrons surrounding it. Every electron wants to be bonded to another electron. That means every atom want 8 electrons total. Carbon on its own only has 4 electrons. That means it can make 4 bonds.
