Biology

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

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).

olga nikolaevna [1]
As a community health nurse, it is important to know the primary treatment for food poisoning, especially if the entire community is affected. The nurse should prioritize fluid replacement in order to prevent severe dehydration. It is expected that people who ingested food that caused them to get ill will suffer from fluid loss or dehydration due to vomiting or diarrhea. Therefore, it is important to replace these fluids and electrolytes that have been lost so that the body can still get the nutrients it needs. Also, it might help if the community nurse could find the source of the problem so that the outbreak will no longer spread.
