Concerning diabetes.does carbohydrates good or bad for diabetic?
You know, if you want to learn chemistry, and you should trust me on this, you have to do as many practice problems possible by yourself till you understand the conceptTake out a periodic table and just do them to the best of your abilityYahoo Answers' members are here to assist you when you feel that you don't quite understand a particular concept, and therefore require assistanceI hope you understand what I am saying!
Aluminum has 3 valence electrons and therefore form 3+ ion Oxygen receives 2 electrons to fill it's outer shell and form 2- ionThey can only be combined together when 2 Aluminum atoms producing 6+ charge (in total) joins with 3 Oxygen atoms producing 6- charge so that the overall charge on the new product Al2O3 is neutral.
Aluminium oxide has the formula Al2O3 because in an ionic compound, in order to be neutral, the charges of each ion must be counteracted by the opposite chargeAl forms a 3+ ion and O forms a 2- ion To make the charges match each other, with the smallest number of atoms possible, I look for the smallest common multiple of 2 and 3, which is 6 Therefore to cancel each other out, the Als must have a charge of 6+ and the Os must have have -6 chargeTo make the charge of the Al 6+, I added a an Al atom to the formula Al2 Then to make the charge of the O 6-, I added two Os, giving 3 O atomsHence my formula Al2O3
Carbohydrates are not bad for anyone - including diabeticsThe food we eat gets converted to carbohydrates during digestionIf a person has diabetes, it is best to limit the number of simple carbohydrates eaten with each meal Simple Carbohydrates are those that cause the blood sugar to rise quickly - examples are: plain sugar (candy, sweet pastries, cookies, and the like), certain sweet fruits and fruit juices, rice, potatoes, and white breads On the other hand, the complex carbohydrates such as those in whole grains, vegetables, and higher fiber fruits are very good for diabetics and non-diabetics alike Since diabetics have a deficiency of insulin, and insulin is needed to carry carbohydrate fuel into the cells, it is best for them to not have too much simple sugars in the bloodstream at any one time.
