Explanation:
- When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.
An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.
For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.
And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.
So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.
Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).
An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.
- On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.
For example,
is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.
Answer:-
A. A water molecule
Explanation:-
A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.
Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.
Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.
Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.
Answer:
involuntary, attached to the eyeball, nonstriated.
Explanation:
Oregon trail would be the best answer
Answer:
Both cones and flowers produce seeds and are used for reproduction. ... The male cones release pollen which is carried by the wind to a female cone. A pollen tube is formed and pollen is transferred to fertilize the female cone's egg
