How does antibiotic resistance arise? how do hospitals and feedlots contribute to this phenomenon?

1 answer:

8 0

Antibiotic resistance arises due to the evolution of the organisms they are designed to destroy. Subsequent generations of such organisms develop resistance to the antibiotic. Hospitals' overuse of antibiotics quickens the process, as does the administration of antibiotics to feedlot cattle, whose meat is consumed by people.

1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?

devlian [24]

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.
