The metallic radius of a potassium atom is 231 pm. What is the volume of a potassium atom in cubic meters?

1 answer:

8 0

1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
= 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
= 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Two non bonded electron pairs and four bonded electron pairs

Explanation:

An image of the compound as obtained from chemlibretext is attached to this answer.

The ion ICl4- ion, is an AX4E2 ion. This implies that there are four bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons. As expected, the shape of the ion is square planar since the lone pairs are found above and below the plane of the square. This is clear from the image attached.

The terms motif (fold) and domain describe levels of protein organization more complicated than primary or secondary structure.

posledela

Answer:

Each specific property of motif and domain is explained.

Explanation:

Domain;

May retain a 3D structure when separated from rest of the protein.
Unit of tertiary structure because alpha helix and beta sheets are units of secondary structure.
Stable globular units like pyruvate kinase
May be distinct functional units in a protein

Motif;

Repetetive supersecondary structure because they contain cluster of secondary structure.
Beta Alpha Beta unit is an example of motif
Clusters of secondary structure

Both Motif and Domain;

Stabilized by hydrophobic interactions like hydrogen bonding stabilize the both.
Depends on primary structure like the arrangement of amino acid in polypeptide chain determine the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Lewis acid- Fe3+

Lewis base- water molecule

Explanation:

Acids and bases have been defined in diverse ways. There have been definitions put forward by Arrhenius, Brownstead and Lowry as well as Lewis. Each definition his useful in its own way.

Lewis acids are lone pair acceptors such as metal ions. This implies that in the particular instance of this reaction, Fe3+ is the lewis acid.

Similarly, a Lewis base is a lone pair donor, all ligands are lone pair donors since they donate one or more lone pairs of electrons to Lewis acids. In the particular instance of this reaction, the Lewis base is the water molecule.

Which of the following combinations of particles represents an ion of net charge -1 and of mass number 82? Group of answer choic

noname [10]

Answer:

The correct choice is E (47 neutrons, 35 protons, 36 electrons)

Explanation:

A ion of net charge -1 means that the ion wins an e-.

We dismiss options B and C.

We also dismiss option A because neutrons + protons = 81.

neutrons + protons = mass number

So we have E and C.

We see that C has 47 neutrons, 36 protons and 36 electrons and, as the atomic number matches the number of protons, we find out on the Periodic Table that the atomic number 36 represents to Krypton, a noble gas. It is impossible! A noble gas never can't be a ion of net charge.

Option E is correct, It is an isotope of Br.

Br has 35 protons (its atomic number)

47 neutrons, that's why it is an Isotope (Br has always 45 neutrons)

As usual, Br has 35 electrons, if it represents a ion of net charge -1, it menas it won 1 e-.

(ii) When shale gas is burned, the hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now , we have the equation of the reaction as;

2H2S(g) + 302(g)------->2SO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

This equation shows that SO2 gas is produced in the process. Let us recall that this same SO2 gas is the anhydride of H2SO4. This means that it can dissolve in water to form H2SO4

So, when SO2 dissolve in rain droplets, then H2SO4 is formed thereby lowering the pH of rain water. This is acid rain.
