The correct answer is:

electronegativity

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a model of an atom's strength to attract the shared electrons of a covalent bond to itself. If atoms bonded together have the same electronegativity, the allotted electrons will be moderately shared. If the electrons of a bond are higher attracted to one of the atoms (because it is more electronegative), the electrons will be unevenly shared. If the difference in electronegativity is large enough, the electrons will not be allowed at all; the more electronegative atom will "take" them happening in two ions and an ionic bond.

Marina is drawing a plan for a new garden. The rectangle plotted in the coordinate plane represents the garden, measured in feet
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The amount of soil Marina will need to cover the garden is:

24 ft2

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that the formula to obtain the area of a rectangle is L multiplied by W where L is the length and W width. Knowing this we can substitute the letters by the size of each representation, meaning L=6 W=4 we multiply them and we obtain 24 ft2. Because when the feet are multiplied they become square feet. Also, because it doesn't matter the spaces used in the direction of the cartesian plane the numbers in means or width and length are positive to obtain the measurement of the area.
