Answer: valence electrons

Explanation:-

Chemical bond is formed either by sharing of electrons or transfer of valence electrons.

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose or gain electrons which are present in the last or valence shell which are called as valence electrons.

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

$HF$ is formed by sharing of valence electrons of hydrogen and fluorine to complete their octet.

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 forms a positively charged ion called as cation. The element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.

Thus valence electrons participate in chemical bonding.

When bacteria are decomposing animal waste, the level of ___________ rises. phosphate nitrate nitrite dissolved oxygen ammonia t

AlekseyPX

Decomposition is the process of degradation or break down of organic matter such as cellulose or other polysaccharide to simpler unit or monosaccharide. Usually decomposition takes place in absence of oxygen such as anaerobic decomposition. The decomposition results in evolution of carbon dioxide by degrading the C , H and O of organic matter with the help of bacterias ro microorganisms.

Thus, with decomposition, the level of carbon dioxide increases.

What volume is indicated on the graduated cylinder?

nlexa [21]

To find the volume of an object with a graduated cylinder:
Take the graduated cylinder and fill it with water to a certain level.

Place the object you are trying to measure in the cylinder.

The level of water will rise to a certain point.

The level of water with the object in it minus the original level will give you the volume.

To just measure the volume of a liquid in the cylinder:
Pour the amount of liquid into the cylinder

Have the cylinder on a flat surface and look at the level of liquid at eye level

The volume of liquid will be where the bottom of the curve of the liquid level is. Look at the unit measurement and that will give you the unit of volume.

If this is what what it was asking I’m sorry

If an electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.5 x 10^18 Hz, what is its wavelength? The speed of light is 3 x 108 m/s.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Wavelength, λ = 6.7 x 10^-11 m

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

In this problem;

f = 4.5 x 10^18 Hz

wavelength, λ = ?

Speed of light, c = 3 x 108 m/s.

These variables are related by the following equation;

c = λ * f

Making λ subject of focus, we have;

λ = c / f

λ = 3 x 10^8 / 4.5 x 10^18

λ = 0.67 x 10^-10

λ = 6.7 x 10^-11 m
