Answer:

1/10^4

Explanation:

Given that 500 colonies were observed on ampicillin plate after transformation. 1 colony represents 1 transformed bacteria because each colony is assumed to have grown from one single bacteria. Hence, 500 bacteria had transformed from 5*10^6 bacteria.

Fraction of cells that got transformed = (Number of cells that were transformed/ Number of total cells)

= 500/(5*10^6)

= 1/10^4

Hence, 1/10^4 cells were transformed in experiment.

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. What type of bonds form
egoroff_w [7]
The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.
