How many amino acids are there and what three general categories do they fall into (i do not mean chemical categories in this question)? include a one-sentence description of these three categories (3)?

Technically, there are an infinite number of possible amino acids, though we've found only 20 common ones that many organisms use and at least half a dozen obscure ones that specific organisms use. We focus only on the 20 common ones unless we're in a college level biochemistry course.

The three categories are nonpolar ones, polar ones, and charged ones. The nonpolar ones have non-polar side chains (no oxygens or nitrogens), the polar ones have polar side chains (most contain an OH group but no COOH group), the charged ones are either acidic or basic (has COOH group or a basic nitrogen).

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
