Ionic compounds:
•Have molecules that consists of charged ions and these ions have positive and negative charges.
• ionic compounds are formed by electrical attraction of two of more ions
• ionic compounds have a high melting & boiling points
• the bonds of ionic compounds are crystal like
• can conduct electricity in water
Covalent compounds:
• they are non metals bound together & consist of two electrons shared between two atoms
• formed when two non metals bound together
• they have lower melting and boiling point
• they easily separate because they are formed from distinct molecules that don’t bond together
• covalent compounds are softer and more flexible
• covalent compounds cannot conduct electricity under water because they are non polar

A covalent bond is a bond between both non-metals, while an ionic bond is between a metal and non-metal.

. While Carl Linnaeus catalogued nearly all known organisms of his day, which major group of organisms did he not account for in

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Single-cell organisms

Explanation:

In 1735, Linnaeus introduced a classification system with only two kingdoms: animals and plants. Linnaeus published this system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms in the book "Systema Naturae". In the epoch that Linnaeus created this system, single-cell organisms such as bacteria and protists were almost unknown. In 1866, E. Haeckel added a category including both bacteria and protozoa, thereby adding a category formed by single-cell organisms (different from animals and plants). During the 1900-1920 period, bacteria were classified as a separated kingdom named 'prokaryotes'. The current three-domain classification system was introduced by C. Woese in 1990. In this system, all forms of life are divided into three different domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains (this last composed of protists, fungi, plants and animals).

Answer:

Air embolism

Explanation:

When bubbles of air or any other gas cause a blockage of blood vessels in the circulatory system then this is known as air embolism.
There are several symptoms that are associated with this condition such as loss of consciousness, difficulty in breathing, bloody sputum, tremors, convulsions, etc.
Since in the given condition, the diver is having frothy blood in his mouth and since he ascended rapidly calling for help he is most likely to be suffering from an air embolism.
