Explain how the terms oxidation and reduction apply even when there is only a partial shift of electrons between atoms linked by

a covalent bond
Biology
1 answer:
aliina [53]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, there is sharing of the donated electron by two atomic species having very small electronegative differences between them.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a specie and it usually lead to an increase in oxidation number.

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a specie. It leads to a lower oxidation number.

Since there is no actual loss of gain of electrons in a covalent body, the electronegativiy is at work.

Electronegativity is the ability of a specie to draw the shared electrons more to itself in a covalent bond.

  • Between two atoms bonded covalently, the more electronegative specie draws the electrons closer.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on it.
  • The other electron then becomes partially positively charged.
  • We can then say, the more electronegative specie undergoes reduction.
  • The less electronegative one undergoes oxidation.

What is the savanna hypothesis? Group of answer choices Bipedalism was selectively favored because it helped our ancestors to st
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Both options are valid, since in the hypothesis of the savanna it was argued that humans acquired bipedalism to be able to self-supply their food more effectively, and to have less body surface area exposed to the sun.

Explanation:

The saban hypothesis is believed to have originated in the saban, with the Austrolopitecus africanus being forced to affect this domain, which is why it acquired this adaptation mechanism.

The savanna had high grasslands, which also led to collaboration in this regard since they could be better camouflaged.

In addition, the human began to defend with the limbs of the upper limb, triggering the canines to decrease in size since it is not used as a defense mechanism.

The canine is a tooth that helps to tear carnivorous food, that is why the human also begins to have a more varied diet of fruits and seeds and that it can reach and take the bones of the tree to increase its height due to bipedalism.

A cell has 6 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have if it undergoes mitosis
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.

hope this helps

have a good day :)
