<span>Metals with nonmetals create ionic bonds. Metal oxides can also create ionic bonds. Metal oxides are metals that react with oxygen in the air, such as magnesium oxide. To name ionic compounds, you must first understand the difference between anions (negative ions) and cations (positive ions). Generally speaking, these compounds consist of a metal and at least one (or more) non-metals. Once you have identified the cation and anion present in a compound, you need to write the name of the metal first, followed by the name of the nonmetal. You must also change the ending of the nonmetal. For example, say the compound you are working with is NaCl. The cation is always written first, and Na is Sodium, so write "Sodium." The anion is always second, and in this case it is Chlorine. However, you will not write "Chlorine." You will write "Chloride" because you are going to drop the "-ine" ending and replace it with "-ide." The full name of your ionic compound is now "Sodium Chloride."</span>

Which of the following statements is true about Tiktaalik?
yawa3891 [41]

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the intertidal zone. A scientist observed a dense co
baherus [9]

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.
