Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<em>Fimbriae are very tiny appendages of about 3 to 10 nm in diameter found on the surface of most Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacterial cells. They are mostly utilized as a structure to adhere to one another, to other organisms, or any other surfaces.</em>

Fimbriae generally contain adhesins, a virulence factor that facilitates adhesion to surfaces and <u>due to their tiny size, they can only be viewed using the electron microscope</u> - the scanning electron microscope to be precise.

Which of the following is a covalent compound?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Water is a covalent compound.

Explanation:

covalent compounds are individual molecules characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Two atoms with similar electronegativity will not exchange an electron from their outermost shell; the atoms instead share electrons so that their valence electron shell is filled.

Example:

Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O) and iodine monobromide (IBr).

Properties:

1. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds may exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.

2. Covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.

3. Covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.
