A genetic mutation that causes abnormal cells to rapidly reproduce and divide often leads to ___________.

2 answers:

7 0

B. Cancer

Explanation: Cancer is basically a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Its development and progression are usually linked to a series of changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. For example, inhibitors of the cell cycle keep cells from dividing when conditions aren’t right, so too little activity of these inhibitors can promote cancer. Similarly, positive regulators of cell division can lead to cancer if they are too active. In most cases, these changes in activity are due to mutations in the genes that encode cell cycle regulator proteins.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2s2sp63s23p64s2 How many valance electrons does this atom have?

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)

1s2 -> He....

2s2 -> Be....

2p6 -> Ne...

3s2 -> Mg...

3p6 -> Ar...

4s2 -> Ca.

At which temperature do the molecules of an ideal gas have 3 times the kinetic energy they have at 32of?

algol [13]

Answer:

820 K

Explanation:

As per Boltzman equation, kinetic energy (KE) is in direct relation to the temperature, measured in absolute scale Kelvin.

KE α T.

Then, the temperature at which the molecules of an ideal gas have 3 times the kinetic energy they have at any given temperature will be 3 times such temperature.

So, you must just convert the given temperature, 32°F, to kelvin scale.

You can do that in two stages.

First, convert 32°F to °C. Since, 32°F is the freezing temperature of water, you may remember that is 0°C. You can also use the conversion formula: T (°C) = [T (°F) - 32] / 1.80

Second, convert 0°C to kelvin:

T (K) = T(°C) + 273.15 K= 273.15 K

Then, 3 times gives you: 3 × 273.15 K = 819.45 K

Since, 32°F has two significant figures, you must report your answer with the same number of significan figures. That is 820 K.

1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?

juin [17]

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

I need help with these questions, please!

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

1. Ionic bond

2. High melting point and high boiling point for ionic bonds while covalent bonds have low melting and boiling point.

3. The similarity is that ionic and covalent bonding lead to the creation of stable molecules.

4. 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3

5. It uses the process of fission.

6. Fission involves the splitting of radioactive elements into smaller particles/compounds while Fusion involves combining of two or more atomic nuclei to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles.

7. Nuclear power plants produce little to no greenhouse gas.

Nuclear power plants produce a large amount of energy for a small mass of fuel.

Nuclear is less expensive.

Part d based on your answer to part c, how many bonding electrons and lone pair electrons (nonbonding electrons) are there in th

elena55 [62]

The Lewis Structure of HCN is shown below,

Number of Bonding Electrons:
In HCN Hydrogen is bonded to Carbon through single bond and Nitrogen is bonded to Carbon through Triple Bond. Single bond is formed by two bonding electrons, while, triple bond is formed by six bonding electrons, Hence,

Number of Bonding Electrons = 8

Number of Non-Bonding Electrons:
In HCN there is only one lone pair of electron present on Nitrogen atom which is not taking part in bonding. Hence,
Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2

Result:

Number of Bonding Electrons = 8

Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2
