Why is hydrogen set by itself?
Hydrogen consists of just one proton and one electron (the cause of why hydrogen behaves unlike any other element) because of this hydrogen is in a class alone in the Periodic Table of elements.
What stage of respiration produces the most ATPs?
electron transport chain produces most of the ATP
What does oxygen produce in cells?
Oxygen doesn't produce anything. It is vitally important in the electron transport chain of the mitochondria as an electron acceptor than then binds with two hydrogens to make water so that ATP can be produced in a greater quantity than by glycolysis alone.
Why is hydrogen shown by itself on the periodic table?
Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table. Being first, all the other elements are jealous of it, because it is lightest, it doesn't have neutrons, etc. So it's alone, but not by choice. It loves itself, which is why you see elemental hydrogen in pairs.
Why is hydrogen written alone on the periodic table?
Hydrogen is not exactly written alone on the periodic table. The table is organized into rows and columns, both of which represent groupings of elements for different reasons. For example, elements in the same column (called "groups") all have the same number of free electrons, or "valence electrons". Elements in the same row have the same or similar numbers of filled electron shells. Hydrogen is in the top row because it has only 1 electron shell and it is in the far left column because it has 1 free electron (just like all of the elements beneath it). Helium, on the other hand, also has 1 electron shell, but is in the far right column because it has a full electron shell (no free electrons). This makes it chemically similar to all of the elements beneath it (this group is called the "noble gases" because they have no free electrons to interact with other elements).
What is the formula of the hydrogen ion?
Since hydrogen is normally a gas it is found in nature in its diatomic from (H2) but if hydrogen is alone as an ion its found as H+
Why is oxygen required in human cells?
Oxygen is a vital part in the process of cellular respiration. Most cells can perform glycolysis and then fermentation to extract energy from sugars, but this process yields far more energy when there is oxygen present. When oxygen is present, mitochondria can utilize something called the electron transport chain that deposits excess hydrogens onto oxygen to create water, ultimately yielding nearly 20 times as much energy as glycolysis and fermentation alone.
What is the color of the flame when hydrogen is burn?
It burns a distinct bright orange/red color which is unique to hydrogen alone.
How does electron occur in life?
There are over 800 electron colleges for them to be schooled at in America alone. Some are democratic but others just want to have fun.
Can hydrogen ion exist alone?
It is not available under normal conditions.
What rock is hardened by compactation alone?
Shale can result from the process of compaction alone.
Can a hydrogen ion exist alone?
It is not available under normal conditions.
