Answer: covalent bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

As $P_2I_4$ or Diphosphorus tetraiodide is made up of phosphorous and iodine which are both non metals , it is a covalent bond.

Diphosphorus tetraiodide is a covalent compound.

It has low melting point as compared to ionic compounds

It is a rare compound where the oxidation state of Phosphorous is +2.

It is also termed as subhalide of phosphorous.

How many grams are in 44.8 liters of nitrogen gas, n2? a) 56g b) 27g c) 36g d) 112g

kkurt [141]

a) 56g

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

At STP,

22.4 L of N₂ = 1 mol

We have given 44.8 L of N₂, therefore,

44.8 L of N₂ = $\frac{44.8}{22.4}$

= $2$ mol

We know that,

1 mol of N₂ = 28 g

Hence,

2 mol of N₂ = 28 × 2

= 56g

Hence, there are 56 g of N₂ in 44.8 L of nitrogen gas.

Model 1-How is a cell like a factory

anastassius [24]

A cell is like a factory in many ways.

For one, the cell typically contains many organelles that have several varying functions. In a factory, you have many workers who perform different tasks, just as the organelles in the cell do.

Another reason is that cells contain a nucleus or the boss/brain of the cell. In factories, this could be considered the boss of the workplace that tells each and every worker, or organelle, what to do.

The selectively permeable membrane of a cell also resembles a factory as it only lets in workers or special guests. The cell's membrane only lets in specific materials, hence the selectively permeable membrane.

These are just a few ways as to how the cell is like a factory.

Hope this helps!

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same

Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body tissues including the red blood cells.
Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling.
But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. 
Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. This will not cause swelling.
But too much of salt is also not recommended.
