Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms are able to <em>share</em> electrons.

Iroinic bonds are form when two atoms are <em> </em> electrons from each other to complete the bond. This results in a pair of ions.


<u>Covalent bonds:</u>

  • Have a definite shape.
  • Have a low melting point.
  • At room temperature they are in a liquid or gas.
  • They occur between two non-metals.

<u>Ionic bonds:</u>

  • Have no definite shape.
  • Have a high melting point.
  • At room temperature they are solid.
  • They occur between a metal and a nonmetal.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Well, on one hand, this is a good thing as negative effects of the high demand for wood such as deforestation can be minimised. This will also sustain the supply of wood for several applications. However, there could be negative consequences of propagating such genetically-modified trees, which were not stated or are not yet known. For instance, the trees could be extreme soil nutrient consumers—depleting soil nutrients at a faster rate than they can be replenished and rendering such soil infertile in a short period.

4. Since morning the whole day it rained. Sun was not visible at all. But photosynthesis took place in plants. What do you think
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Answer is below.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that involves three main actors (or ingredients); sunlight, water, carbon dioxide.

Statistics has it that there was no sunlight all through the day.

- Let's check then if there was availability of water and the gas carbon dioxide.

There was rainfall all day

- This means that some photosynthetic activity would take place.

What about the gas that plants breathe in?

- There is always substantial amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere.

A SECOND WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS:

by checking the two stages of photosynthesis.

- In the first stage, sunlight is the main actor. Sunlight is trapped and stored as energy in the chloroplasts of green plants.

- In the second stage, CO₂ is the main actor. With CO₂, the chemical compound - from the first stage - ATP is used to produce sugar and organic compounds which are the food of/for green plants.
