Question

question 25 1 pts an isotope of an element contains different numbers of ____ from other atoms of the same element. electrons protons neutrons both protons and neutrons question 26 1 pts the octet rule refers to the: stability of the nucleus when the protons are in a multiple of eight. stability of the atom when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level. stable configuration of the nucleus when there are eight more neutrons than protons. principle that one atom can combine with a maximum of eight other atoms. question 27 1 pts an example of a catabolic process is: hydrolysis. dehydration synthesis. formation of a peptide bond. both b and c

Explanation:

• Question 25: Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons (defining the element) but different numbers of neutrons.
• Question 26: The octet rule states that atoms are stable when their outermost energy level has eight electrons.
• Question 27: Catabolic processes break down larger molecules into smaller ones. Hydrolysis is a catabolic process where a molecule is broken down by adding water. Dehydration synthesis and peptide - bond formation are anabolic (building - up) processes.

Answer:

Question 25: C. neutrons
Question 26: B. stability of the atom when there are eight electrons in the outermost energy level.
Question 27: A. hydrolysis
