Can you show me the answer and explain?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium

Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)

Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.

This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions

Any further clarification let me know

Which member of each pair is more soluble in water? Why?<br> (a) CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) or CH₃CH₂OCH₂(g)
Anna [14]

CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

<h3>What is hydrocarbon?</h3>

Hydrocarbon is defined as the compound which contain hydrocarbon and carbon atoms.

The carbon atom attached to each other to form framework and hydrogen atom attach to them in different ways to give different configuration. One of the most popular hydrocarbon compound is diamond.

<h3>Solubility of hydrocarbon in water</h3>

Hydrocarbon is non polar compound whereas water is polar compound. So, hydrocarbon is in soluble in water. But as they have weak intermolecular interactions known as London dispersion forces i.e. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole interactions.

make them less soluble in water.

Greater the hydrocarbon chain lesser will be the solubility of ketone in water. On the other hand, lesser the hydrocarbon chain greater will be the solubility of ketone in water.

Thus, we concluded that the CH₃CH₂OCH₂ is more soluble in water because it has shorter hydrocarbon chain.

Explain why the nucleus of an atom is positively charged but the overall charge of an atom is neutral
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

sorry

Explanation:

i'm not a chemistry student

but let me try

it is because the neutron of an atom is -

why the proton and electron is +and- (positive and negative)

so + and - = 0

A deficiency in B6 (pyridoxal phosphate) would negatively impact which of the following pathways: 1. Metabolism of homocysteine
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.

Explanation:

The metabolism of homocysteine produces a sulfur amino acid that is normally formed from methionine during the fulfillment of its function as a donor of methyl groups. Metabolic fate such as remethylation and transsulfuration, involving the enzymatic forms of the vitamins folacin, B12, and B6, gives rise to homocysteine and mixed disulfides including so-called protein-linked homocysteine, the main form circulating in plasma. B6 deficiency would have a direct impact on the metabolism of homocysteine to cysteine.

Have a nice day!
