Answer:

electronegativity of bonded atoms and shape.

Explanation:

if the shape of molecule is symmetric it will non polar. The polar molecules are trigonal in shape.

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion and compound is polar.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive and compound will polar.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

Answer is: negative beta decay.

Nuclear reaction: ¹⁴C → ¹⁴N + e⁻ + νe (electron antineutrino).
In beta minus decay (atomic number Z is increased by one, from 6 in carbon to 7 in nitrogen) neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron antineutrino.
Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

Convert 1.50μm2 to square meters

IrinaVladis [17]

1 micro meter = $10^{-6} meters$
1 μm ^2 = 1 μm*1μm = $10^{-6} *10^{-6} = 10^{-12}$ meters

1.5 μm^2 = 1.5 * $10^{-12}$ meters

μm^2 is a unit for surface. First you want to convert μm to meters which is unit for length and if you multiply units for length you get unit for surface.

TUU Tuve a cell membrane.

Maslowich

Answer:

(1) Chloroplast

Explanation:

Cells of living organisms are made up of certain function-specific structures called ORGANELLES. Some organelles are present in plant cells and absent in animal cells and vice versa. In a plant cell, one notable organelle that allows it perform the photosynthetic process is the CHLOROPLAST.

However, the chloroplast is predominantly found in the LEAF part of a plant. This is because leaf cells are the site of photosynthesis. Hence, according to this question, Joe would be able to tell whether the plant cell was from the leaf or the root by looking for CHLOROPLAST as a differentiating factor in each cell.
