If the atoms that are bonding have identical electronegativities, then it's a completely nonpolar covalent bond. This doesn't happen in the real world unless the two atoms are of the same element. In a practical sense, any two elements with an electronegativity difference less than 0.3 is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
As the difference between the atoms increases, the covalent bond becomes increasingly polar. At a polarity difference of 1.7 (this changes depending on who you ask) we consider it no longer to be a covalent bond and to be the electrostatic interactions characteristic in an ionic compound.
Just so you know, you shouldn't take these values as exact. ALL interactions between adjacent atoms involve some sharing of electrons, no matter how big the difference in electronegativity. Sure, you wouldn't expect much sharing in KF, but there's a little sharing of electrons anyway. There's certainly no big cutoff that happens at a difference of 1.7 Pauling Electronegativity units.
Answer:
Phytoplanktons are photosythetic organisms found near ocean surface and provide food to a wide variety of sea creatures like whale, shrimp, jelly fish etc. They also rely on nutrients such ad nitrates, phosphate for their development. They maintain a balance ecosystem and food web in ocean.
Answer:
C. Tap root system
Explanation:
The taproot is the primary root that is derived from the radicle directly. This primary root has many lateral roots originating from it. Root vegetables such as carrots are classified as tap roots.
These root vegetables are fleshy in nature. The taproot of carrot is modified to store the food. Storage of food makes the tap roots of these vegetable swollen in appearance. Another example of root vegetable is turnip which is also a taproot.
Answer:
Crossing over
Explanation:
Genetic variation is increased by meiosis
Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase I.
