Commercialism is when one benefits while the other gets no harm nor benefit.
Example: the Remora rides attached to bigger types of fish or shark and eat the remains of meals left behind from the organism they are attached to. 

Parasitism is when benefits and the other is harmed. 
Example: A tape worm feeds off the intestines and eat what the host eats, killing the host because they are deprived of nutrients. 

Mutualism is when both benefit.
Example: when a bird is allowed to peck the food from a rhinos mouth to help the rhinos teeth and allows the birth food.

A compound contains 1.10 mol of K, 0.55 mol of Te, and 1.65 mol of O. What is the simplest formula of this compound?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

K_2TeO_3

Explanation:

Given that:-

Moles of K = 1.10 moles

Moles of Te = 0.55 moles

Moles of O = 1.65 moles

Taking the simplest ratio of the moles of the elements as:-

   K : Te : O

1.10 : 0.55 : 1.65  

   2 :     1   : 3

Empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound. So, the empirical formula is:- K_2TeO_3

If oxygen with an electronegativity of 3.5 were to make a chemical bond with lithium, electronegativity of 1.0, what kind of bon
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Ionic.

Explanation:

Elements with higher electronegativity values are better at attracting electrons in a chemical bond.  

  • A chemical bond is considered "ionic" if the electronegativity difference between the two bonding atoms is greater than 1.8.
  • Otherwise, this chemical bond is considered "covalent".

In this example, the difference between the electronegativity of oxygen and lithium is 3.5 - 1.0 = 2.5. Since 2.5 > 1.8, the bond between the two elements would likely be ionic.

It is possible to reach the same conclusion based on the fact that lithium is a metal while oxygen is a nonmetal. When metal elements react with non-metal elements, the product is typically an ionic compound- with ionic bonds between the atoms.

Water is the universal solvent and we have seen how salts, like NaCl, dissolve in water. Many other molecules dissolve in water
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Salt (sodium chloride) is made from positive sodium ions bonded to negative chloride ions. Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions.
