Summary Introduction

To draw: Lewis dot structure of silicon (Si).

Introduction: “ Every element has smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element”. This smallest unit is called atom. There are three subatomic particles of an atom. These are electrons, protons, and neutrons. Proton and neutron are present in the central part of an atom called nucleus. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in different electronic shells that can be drawn in form of electron distribution diagram as given in fig. 1(a) and fig. 2(a). The electrons present in outermost shell are called valence electrons that can be drawn in dotted form as Lewis dot structure of an atom, as given in fig.1 (b) and fig.2 (b).

Summary Introduction

To interpret: The properties of silicon that makes it suitable for silicon based life.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
