B) chemical bond i believe is the correct answer
Answer:
In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.
Explanation:
Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.
During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.
The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.
Answer: Be= 2, C =4, Li = 1 and B=3
Explanation:
The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.
Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.
Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.
Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.
Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.
Answer:
c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.
