 Bonds<span> hold atoms and molecules of substances together. There are several different kinds of bonds; the type of bond seen in elements and compounds depends on the chemical properties as well as the attractive forces governing the atoms and molecules. The three types of chemical bonds are Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds, and Polar covalent bonds. Chemists also recognize hydrogen bonds as a fourth form of chemical bond, though their properties align closely with the other types of bonds.</span>

A covalent bond is a bond between 2 non-metals (sharing of electrons between atoms), where ionic is between a metal and a non-metal (the transfer of electrons). Standard covalent bonds are usually weaker then ionic bonds. 

Covalent - Hydrogen + Chlorine = Hydrogen Chloride (HCl)

Ionic - Sodium + Chlorine = Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

The largest proportion of the carbon dioxide delivered from peripheral tissues to the lungs is carried in the blood:
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: The correct answer would be option a.

Explanation:

The hemoglobin in red blood cell has a tendency to bind to oxygen as well carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gas.

For example, at tissue site, the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher than oxygen due to which the affinity of hemoglobin increases for carbon dioxide.

In hemoglobin, carbon dioxide reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.

At alveolar site, these ions again convert into carbon dioxide and excrete out of the blood as a part of exhale air.

Why do pigs wallow in the mud?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: Option B

Pigs wallow in the mud to cool themselves down.

Explanation: Pigs' skin contains lots of fats, and fats serves as thermal insulator during cold (low temperatures); unfortunately, this feature turns becomes a disadvantage during heat (high temperatures). Hence, pigs frequently wallows in the mud (or any nearby cool water place) - to reduce their body temperature.
