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.

Where does the sedimentary rock chalk form? from the precipitation of minerals in shallow marine environments by the lithificati
Katarina [22]

The correct answer is an accumulation of microorganisms in deep marine environments.

Chalk rock refers to a pure form of limestone produced in tropical and warm seas about 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The microscopic marine algae known as coccoliths thrived in the ancient seas. Their shells were comprised of calcite. With the death of the algae, their bodies sunk to the floor of the sea and sediment of chalk got deposited.

Over many years layers of chalk sediment got deposited and resulted in compaction of loose sediment into solid chalk rock.

A Church spire in a form of a regular hexagonal pyramid whose base edge is 8ft and whose altitude is 75ft is to be painted at a
ollegr [7]
Given:
base edge - 8 ft
altitude or height - 75 ft

Surface area = [(3√3)/2] a² + 3a[√h² + (3a²/4)]
S.A = 2.6*8² + 3(8) * √75² + [(3*8²)/4]
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * √5625 + 48
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * √5674
S.A = 166.4 + 24 * 75.33
S.A = 166.4 + 1807.92
S.A = 1974.32 ft²

convert square feet to square yard.

1 sq ft = 0.1111 sq yd

1974.32 ft² * 0.1111 sq.yd/sq.ft = 219.35 sq yd.

22 per sq. yard

219.35 sq. yard * $22/sq.yd = $4,825.70

Total cost is $4,825.70
