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).

After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

JulsSmile [24]

The right answer is false.

All the physical characteristics of an individual, which are at the basis of genetic characters (sometimes even epigenetic), are transmitted to his offspring.

Classical or monogenic Mendelian inheritance is based on the transmission of a single gene in a dominant, recessive mode, linked to the sex chromosome X (or Y), or more rarely mitochondrial (extranuclear) chromosome.
