It's useful because it highlights structures in biological tissue.
Answer:
The number of valence electrons in an atom is reflected by its position in the periodic table of the elements (see the periodic table in the Figure below). Across each row, or period, of the periodic table, the number of valence electrons in groups 1–2 and 13–18 increases by one from one element to the next
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Balanced equation
2Zn + O₂ ⟶ 2ZnO
(b). Calculation
You want to convert moles of ZnO to moles of Zn
The molar ratio is 2 mol Zn:2 mol ZnO

- <em>A skeleton equation shows just the reactants and products whereas a balanced equation shows the</em><u> relative amounts of, or proportion between, reactants and products.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>skeleton equation</em> shows which <em>reactants </em>are being used and which <em>products </em>are being formed.
The reactants are shown on the left and the products are shown on the right side of the equations, separeted by an arrow.
For example, the skeleton equation to obtain water is:
From it you know that hydrogen and oxygen react to form water, yet you do not know in which ratio they do it.
Then, you balance the equation, adding the appropiate coefficients, to make the number of atoms of each kind on the reactant side equal to the number of the same kind of atoms on the product side.
This is, for the example of water, the number of hydrogen atoms on the left must equal the number of atoms of hygrogen on the right side, and the number of oxygen atoms of the left must equal the number of oxygen atoms on the right.
For the water example that is:
- 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)
- Showing that 2 molecuies of hydrogen (or 4 atoms) react with 1 molecule of oxygen (or 2 atoms) to produce 2 molecules of water, and that proportion (relative amounts) will always be true for that reaction.
