An atom will usually form either an ionic bond or covalent bond with another atom but not both.

Ionic bonds are the kind of bonds that result when one atom transfers or gives up electrons and another atom receives them and adds them to its own energy shells.

An example is sodium metal and chlorine gas. Sodium gives up two of its electrons and Chlorine receives them and the two elements form an ionic bond to create sodium chloride, a new compound.

Covalent bonds are the kind of bonds formed when two atoms decide to share electrons. No atom gives up any electrons and neither does the other atom receive any. An example is water. An oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a molecule of water (H2O).

1. Compare and Contrast prokaryote and eukaryote cells

kirza4 [7]

1: Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.

2: Eukaryotes represent a domain of life, but within this domain there are multiple kingdoms. The most common classification creates four kingdoms in this domain: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The four kingdoms of living organisms are unique in their own way. You can go to a wikipedia page for more about this.

3: animal, human, bacteria, amoeba, and mushroom. (May be wrong)

4: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems.

5: In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Examples of taxonomic ranks are species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain, etc.
