Answer:

The correct answer is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is defined as a weak bond that results from electrostatic attraction taken place between hydrogen of one molecule and electro-negative atom of same or different molecule.

In water, partial negative charge is present on oxygen atom which attracts the partial positive charge present on hydrogen atom of other water molecule. This attractive interactions lead to the formation of inter-molecular hydrogen bonding.

Answer:  hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the less electronegative hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. Oxygen atom withdraws the electron density towards itself and thus acquire a partial negative charge and hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge. The opposite charges attract each other and result into hydrogen bonds.

Ionic bond is formed the transfer of electrons between two atoms.

Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms.

Chemical bond is formed either by sharing of electrons or by transfer of electrons.

Which greenhouse gas has an average lifetime in the atmosphere of a few weeks to thousands of years?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Due to human activities, the greenhouse gases are the most substantial mediator of the witnessed climate change since the mid-20th century. Globally, the overall emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activities have upsurged by 35 % from 1990 to 2010.  

The concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have upsurged since the start of the industrial revolution. Of the greenhouse gases, the fluorinated gases exhibit an average lifetime in the atmosphere of a few weeks to thousands of years.  

The fluorinated gases refer to an array of gases, which comprise fluorine, incorporating perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, among other chemicals.  

These gases are discharged due to numerous industrial procedures and household and commercial applications and do not take place naturally. It is at certain instances used as the substitutes for the ozone-depleting components like CFCs.

Nexin

This is the elastic protein among tubulin doublets that link them together for ciliary and flagellae structures.
Cilia and flagella are cellular structures that facilitate movement of the cell from one area to another.

This protein also inhibits movement on microtubules from axonemes.
