Answer:In ionic compounds, electrons are transferred between atoms of different elements to form ions. But this is not the only way that compounds can be formed. Atoms can also make chemical bonds by sharing electrons equally between each other. Such bonds are called covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). For example, two hydrogen atoms bond covalently to form an H2 molecule; each hydrogen atom in the H2 molecule has two electrons stabilizing it, giving each atom the same number of valence electrons as the noble gas He.
Compounds that contain covalent bonds exhibit different physical properties than ionic compounds. Because the attraction between molecules, which are electrically neutral, is weaker than that between electrically charged ions, covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds. In fact, many covalent compounds are liquids or gases at room temperature, and, in their solid states, they are typically much softer than ionic solids. Furthermore, whereas ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, most covalent compounds are insoluble in water; since they are electrically neutral, they are poor conductors of electricity in any state.
Example, when sulfur is burned in the air (one of my favorite chemical reactions) it combines with oxygen in the air to form an oxide. We consider this reaction in the form of a chemical equation: S (sulfur) + O2 (oxygen) |> SO2 (sulfur dioxide)
<span>Answer: 0.00 meters
Solution:
Step 1: Define displacement
DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."
Step 2: Understand the question
Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).
Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).
Step 3: Analyze the question
What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?
The ant started and ended its journey in the same place.
While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)
Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

Gases use Cubic Feet (cu.ft).
28,317 cc (cm³ or mL).
For liquids we have the US Gallon (gal).
1.0 US gal. = 3,785 cc (cm³ or mL).
