(A) The oxygen atom becomes strongly negative.

Explanation:

When a very electronegative atom like oxygen bonds to an atom with a lower electronegativity, like lithium, the oxygen atom becomes strongly negative and the lithium becomes strongly positive.

The attraction between these oppositely charged ions results in the formation ionic bond.

An ionic bond is an interatomic bond in which a highly electronegative atom is bonded to less electronegative one.
The electronegative nature of the oxgyen allows is to gain the electrons lost by weakly electronegative lthium.
Most metals have low electronegativity.
They then both will form ions.
The attraction between the oppositely charged ions results in an ionic/electrovalent bonding.

4. Which of the following is the DNA sequence that a restriction enzyme binds to?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA Ligase is the enzyme that binds fragments of DNA together by forming two phosphodiester bonds between the 3' hydroxyl end of one nucleotide with the 5' phosphate end of the other. This reaction requires the hydrolysis of ATP.

A photographer uses his camera, whose lens has a 50 mm focal length, to focus on an object 2.5 m away. He then wants to take a p

Temka [501]

Answer:

0.004 m away from the film

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 50 mm

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{0.05}-\frac{1}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{98}{5} \\\Rightarrow v=\frac{5}{98}=0.051\ m$

The image distance is 0.051 m

When u = 50 cm

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{0.05}-\frac{1}{0.5}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=18\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1}{18}=0.055\ m$
