Answer:

The resonance structure for the cyclopentadienyl anion is shown in the drawing below.

Explanation:

The resonance representation of the cyclopentadienyl anion shows that it is a stable ion. On the other hand it is important to note that it has 6 π electrons and is aromatic.

what is the structure of XeO2F2???i know its hybridization as sp3d but cannot quite understand its diagram in free space,help an

skelet666 [1.2K]

The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.

On the enzyme hexokinase, ATP reacts with glucose to produce glucose 6-phosphate and ADP five orders of magnitude faster than AT

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

[The rate differential results from induced fit on the enzyme upon binding of glucose. This conformational change excludes water from gaining access to the -phosphate group on ATP, and brings the same group close to the OH group on carbon 6 of glucose]

dissolving sugar in water is a physical change but heating sugar to form a caramel is a chemical change .Explain

kramer

Explanation:

Also, the water molecules are not changed when sugar is dissolved in water to form a sugar solution. We can easily get back the sugar by evaporation of water from the sugar solution. The evaporated water can then be condensed to recover the water also. Hence, it is a physical change and not a chemical change.
