Molecules are made up by chemically bonding two or more atoms of the same element or different elements, they don’t have charge, and the atoms are bonded by covalent bonds. <span>Lattices have a three- dimensional ordered arrangement of basic units (that can be an atom, molecule or an ion). Lattices are crystalline structures with these repeated basic units. When ions joined with ionic bonds, they form ionic crystals. The formula unit tells us that aluminium hydroxide has a crystal structure made from molecules. </span>

Answer:

A crystal lattice is a solid in which the particles are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.

A molecule is a discrete unit of atoms that is bonded together.

Many ions come together to form a crystal.

The formula unit of an ionic compound represents the smallest ratio of ions in the crystal.

The lattice of aluminum hydroxide has three OH- ions for every Al3+ ion.

Explanation:

any of those are right

How is agriculture depended on industries

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The interdependence of agriculture and industry helps the development of both the sectors. The most important aspect of this inter dependence is that the products of one serve as important inputs for the other. Growth of one sector, thus means ample supply of inputs for the other.

How many covalent bonds does and oxygen stone usually make in forming covalent compounds?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.
