Answer:
A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.
Explanation:
A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.
In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.
Answer:
Option D, a test for the presence of cells that contain DNA
Explanation:
As we know all living organisms are made up of cells and DNA is the basic genetic material that codes for protein and traits with an organism. If even a single cell with DNA is detected on the extraterrestrial planet then it will be clear that it has life on it or the environmental conditions are favorable to support life. Cells are microscopic and hence can be seen through microscope which can be installed easily on a probe.
Hence, option D is correct
Answer:
1. <u>The height of bean plants</u> depends on the amount of water they recieve.
2. The higher the temerature of the air in the oven, <u>the (speed of which) a cake will bake.</u>
3. Lemon trees receiving the most water produced the most<u> lemons (amount)</u>
4. An investigation found that more <u>bushels of potatoes</u> were <u>produced</u> when the soil was fertalized (amount) more.
5. The amount of <u>pollution</u> produces by cars was measured for cars using gasoline containing different amounts of lead.
Explanation:
The independent variable is what you change and the <u>dependent</u> variable is what is being measured. It is like cause and effect.
