Elements in the top right corner of the periodic table have the highest electronegativity. Elements on the right side have a higher electronegativity than those on the left, same with the ones on the top in comparison to those on the bottom.
Answer:
X represents oxygen and Y represents carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
Because in respiration, you consume oxygen and make carbon dioxide whereas, in photosynthesis, the equation is reversed and you use carbon dioxide and make oxygen and glucose.
I believe it’s evaporation?

The best example of hydrogen bonding excluding water is DNA. The two strands of polymers are connected by hydrogen bonds between the nucleotide bases</span>.
Answer:
- <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.
Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.
When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).
Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
