As elements go across from left to right in a period, they get closer to filling up their outermost electron energy shell. Their protons hold tightly onto their electrons. As they get closer to filling up their outermost electron energy shell, would it be harder or easier to take an electron away from them?

Effect of rotenone and antimycin a on electron transfer rotenone, a toxic natural product from plants, strongly inhibits nadh dehydrogenase of insect and fish mitochondria. antimycin a, a toxic antibiotic, strongly inhibits the oxidation of ubiquinol. (a) explain why rotenone ingestion is lethal to some insect and fish species. (b) explain why antimycin a is a poison. (c) given that rotenone and antimycin a are equally effective in blocking their respective sites in the electron-transfer chain, which would be a more potent poison? explain.
