Coal mining produces not only air pollution but solid waste; ash and flue - gas desulferization sludge ( look it up ), which contains toxic arsenic and radioactive uranium among other heavy metals. Water becomes polluted with these harmful substances through mountain top removal mining and so underwater creatures are poisoned and plants absorb deadly substances and die, which also contributes to the aquatic organisms death as the plants may have been a food source.
Answer:
1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).
2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.
3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.
Happy Holidays!
Answer:
The correct answer is methane . Nature constitutes most of the substances made up of organic compounds. These compounds have carbon atoms attached with hydrogen atoms with a chemical bond (very few compounds may not have this bond).
Halophiles are extremophiles that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt. <span>Halophiles prevent this loss of water by increasing the internal osmolarity of the cell by accumulating </span>osmoprotectants<span> or by the selective uptake of potassium ions. Hope this helps.</span>
