Why is the hydrogen molecule stable with only 2 electrons while the fluorine molecule needs to have 8 electrons available for ea

ch atom?

Answer:

By sharing their valence electrons, both hydrogen atoms now have two electrons in their respective valence shells. Because each valence shell is now filled, this arrangement is more stable than when the two atoms are separate.

It is important to understand the differences between chemical and physical changes. Chemical changes result in new substances,
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Melting of ice

Explanation:

A physical change is one in which just the physical properties of the matter is altered. Most phase changes reaction falls under this type of change.

  • Examples are boiling, melting, freezing, condensation, sublimation, magnetization of metals, breaking glass, cutting wood.
  1. No new kinds of matter is formed.
  2. The process is reversible
  3. No change in mass

Which of the following reactions does the coenzyme biotin catalyze?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

c. decarboxylation of an a-keto acid.

Explanation:

Decarboxylation refers to the removal of the carboxyl group from a carboxylic acid and thus releasing carbon dioxide. Decarboxylases are enzymes that speed up the removal of the carboxyl group from acids. These reactants could be amino acids, alpha-keto acids, and beta-keto acids. Biotin is known to catalyze the decarboxylation of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA during fatty acid synthesis.

Malonyl CoA is converted to acetyl CoA after decarboxylation assisted by biotin also known as Vitamin H. Alpha keto acids are involved in fatty acids synthesis and Malonyl CoA is an alpha-keto acid because the keto group is located in the first carbon near the carboxylic acid group. Keto acids have both a carboxyl group and a ketone group.

How do you determine the chemical reactivity for metals using the periodic table?
Lyrx [107]
You can know the metal with low reactivity and the metal with high reactivity from the periodic table, as in metals the Chemical reactivity increases by going down a group, because of the farther down group we go the easier of lose and gain of electrons or the easier the electrons to be given or taken, this caused the chemical reactivity be higher.
- and the chemical reactivity decreases as we go across the period because they want to give away valence electrons, they need more energy to get rid of them.
