<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.
An electronegativity of an atom is affected by
- The atomic number of the atom
- Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus
1. In case the electronegativity difference (which is denoted by ΔEN) is less than 0.5 then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent.
</u>
2. In case the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent
</u>
3. In case the ΔEN is more /greater than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>
<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>
- The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
- Another example is the formation of NaCl from sodium (Na),which is a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a nonmetal
Answer:
True is the correct answer.
Explanation:
- The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.
- prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.
- Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.
- Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
- prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.
The third option because the elements mentioned in that selection are in the same group, they must have similar properties.
