Answer: Sodium Chloride salt is formed through the formation of an ionic bond.

Explanation:

Sodium atom possess one electron in its outer shell and chlorine possess seven electrons in its outer shell.

When electron exchange occurs between the two then sodium atom gives its electron to chlorine and thus becomes positive sodium ion and by accepting that electron from sodium, the chlorine atom becomes the negative chloride ion. Which results in the completion of outer shells of both the atoms.

Therefore through this interaction of oppositely charged ions an ionic lattice is formed which is called as the sodium chloride salt.

What is the most important factor that determines the rate of diffusion in biological systems?
miv72 [106K]
The factors that determines the rate of diffusion in the biological system include: temperature, size of the particles, diffusion distance and concentration gradients. Of all these factors, the most important  one is the TEMPERATURE.
The relationship between temperature and the rate of diffusion is a direct one, that is, the higher the temperature the higher the rate of diffusion and vice versa. At high temperature the molecules in the particles move faster because they have higher amount of energy.

Explanation:

The genus homo has been taken to the emergence with the  Homo habilis. Homo sapiens has been emerged around 300,000 to 200,000 years ago.

Holen and colleagues in 2017 discovered 130,000-year-old site in California that contain a  a mastodon that had been butchered by humans. Some scientists  express skepticism because it has been believed that only humans have occupied North America. The Homo sapiens has not arrived until 20,000 years ago.
