Answer:

72000 miles

Explanation:

If the distance between the students is 600 miles, and this implies in a 3 degree difference in the sun position, that means this 600 miles is related to 3 degrees of the circunference of the planet.

So, to find the whole circunference of the planet, that is, 360 degrees, we just need to use a rule of three:

3 degrees -> 600 miles

360 degrees -> x miles

3x = 600 * 360

x = 600 * 360 / 3 = 72000 miles

In this type of bond, electrons are lost or gained by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction.

<span>In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms. </span>
