Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
Answer:
A = Metallic Bond
B = Strong bonding, strong conductor, high melting and boiling points
Explanation:
Since the bond is between two metals (located in groups 11 and 12), they would experience metallic bonding. Metallically bonded molecules have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of the metallic bond. They also experience strong electrical current due to the there delocalized electrons.
The polarity of a water molecule
comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen
atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the
hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a
partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this
electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also,
because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to
its polarity and bonding.
