Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The reason should be explained for the third period in the periodic table contains eight elements.
Concept introduction:
The Aufbau principle:
The aufbau principle is states that in the ground state of an atom, electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest available energy levels before occupying higher levels. For example, the 1s shell is filled before the 2s subshell is occupied.
The subshell ordering by this rule is
Number of electrons in the shells is given below,
Each shell contains only a fixed number of electrons. The first shell contains two electrons, the second shell contains eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell contains 18 (2 + 6 + 10), fourth shell contains (2 + 6 + 10 + 14 ) and so on.

- The following data were recorded for the enzyme catalyzed conversion of S -> P. Question: Estimate the Vmax and Km. What would be the rate at 2.5 and 5.0 x 10-5 M [S] ?arrow_forwardPlease helparrow_forwardThe following data were recorded for the enzyme catalyzed conversion of S -> P Question: what would the rate be at 5.0 x 10-5 M [S] and the enzyme concentration was doubled? Also, the rate given in the table is from product accumulation after 10 minuets of reaction time. Verify these rates represent a true initial rate (less than 5% turnover). Please helparrow_forward
- The following data was obtained on isocitrate lyase from an algal species. Identify the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme, deduce the KM and Vmax , and determine the nature of the inhibition by oxaloacetate. Please helparrow_forwardIn the table below, there are sketches of four crystals made of positively-charged cations and negatively-charged anions. Rank these crystals in decreasing order of stability (or equivalently increasing order of energy). That is, select "1" below the most stable (lowest energy) crystal. Select "2" below the next most stable (next lowest energy) crystal, and so forth. A B 鹽 (Choose one) +2 C +2 +2 (Choose one) D 鹽雞 (Choose one) (Choose one)arrow_forward1.
