1/2-life of pyruvic acid in the presence of aminotransferase enzyme (which converts it to alanine) was found to be 221 s. how long will it take for the concentration of pyruvic acid to fall to 1/64 of its initial value in this first order reaction?

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
