How is it posibal to have ionic and covalent bonds

Biology
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
6 0

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).

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

option B: one species decreases the probability that a second species will become established

Explanation:

Inhibition as a mechanism of succession occurs when some early species which could also include pioneer species make the site less suitable for the development of other species and do not allow them to become established and grow. When eventually these early species die, other species that were hindered will subsequently grow and become established gradually giving rise to a climax community.

_____ exhibit two radial body forms, the polyp and the medusa, and use stinging cells to capture prey.
Kryger [21]

The complete statement is this: CNIDARIA exhibit two radial body forms, the polyp and the medusa, and use stinging cells to capture prey.

Cnidaria is categorized under the Animalia kingdom. It is made up of more that eleven thousand species, which all live in aquatic habitats; either fresh or salt water environments. There are four basic classes of cnidarians, these are: Anthozoa, Cubozoa, Scyphozoan and Hydrozoa. Their common feature is the cnidocytes, which are specialized cells that they use to capture their preys.  

Cnidaria have two radial body types, which are called polyp and medusa. They used cnidocytes (stinging cells) to capture the foods they feed on.
