Explanation

 The maximum number of electrons in an atom is given by the formula:  

Total electrons = 2n²  

For n = 4:  

2(1² + 2² + 3² + 4²) = 2(1 + 4 + 9 + 16) = 2(30) = 60  

But this is a misunderstanding. Each shell holds:

- n=1: 2  

- n=2: 8  

- n=3: 18  

- n=4: 32  

So total = 2 + 8 + 18 + 32 = 60, but this is not per atom.  

If n = 4 is the maximum principal quantum number, then the 4th shell is being filled.  

The maximum number of electrons that can exist in the 4th shell is:  

2n² = 2(4)² = 32

Explanation

If the maximum value of the principal quantum number (n) for an atom is 4, the total number of electrons in that atom is 32.

This is because the maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by 2n², and for n=4, this calculation results in 2 * 4² = 32. 

Explanation

 In cyclic photophosphorylation, electrons from the primary acceptor of Photosystem I (PSI) return to the cytochrome complex, specifically the cytochrome b6f complex, via ferredoxin (Fd)

.This process also involves plastoquinone (PQ) and plastocyanin (Pc) before the electrons return to PSI. 

Explanation

When hydrogen loses its electron, it forms H⁺, similar to alkali metals (like Na⁺, K⁺) that also form +1 ions.

Due to this behavior, hydrogen is often placed in Group 1 (alkali metals) in the periodic table.

Explanation

The mass of one mole of electrons is 0.55g.      

- Mass of one electron ≈ 9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg

- 1 mole of electrons = 6.022 × 10²³ electrons

- So, mass of 1 mole of electrons ≈  

  9.109 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 6.022 × 10²³ ≈ 5.48 × 10⁻⁴ kg ≈ 0.548 g

So the correct value is about 0.55 g

Explanation

Explanation

 Though fluorine is more electronegative, chlorine has the highest electron affinity due to less electron-electron repulsion.

Explanation

Oxidative phosphorylation is coupled with the electron transport chain (ETC).

This coupling is essential for cellular respiration and the production of ATP, the cell's main energy currency. 

Explanation

Detailed Solution – A cation with +1 charge

A cation with +1 charge has 10 electrons and 11 protons.
