Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

calcium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for calcium is 1. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from calcium is transfer to the chlorine. calcium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

There are two valance electrons in calcium so it needed to lose two valance electrons to complete the octet while chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. Thus two electrons lost by one calcium atom are gained by two atoms of chlorine.

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂

True or False: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, mid ocean ridges, deep sea trenches all occur at the edge of the plates or boundaries

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

so i wanna say ... true?

Explanation:

Most of the Earth's geologic activity takes place at plate boundaries. At a divergent boundary, volcanic activity produces a mid ocean ridge and small earthquakes. At a convergent boundary with at least one oceanic plate, an ocean trench, a chain of volcanoes develops and many earthquakes occur.

You can prove siblings are related by_

olga_2 [115]

Well, there is only one realistic answer. Option One is when you take the DNA of two different people or creatures and combine them into one organism. Cloning wouldn't prove anything here, "hybridization" is weird - but it doesn't have anything to do with the situation. So only only remaining option is DNA Profiling - also known as DNA Mapping, which shows the DNA structure and order that can be seen the same way in siblings (slightly different of course but it is still the right answer).

What are the genotypic results as a ratio

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The genotypic ratio shows the number of times a characteristic of an organism will be seen in the offspring when genes for certain traits are crossed. ... The genotypic ratio for this cross is written 1:2:1. In animals and plants, each gene has 2 alleles or variations, one from each parent
