Answer:

A - Some synthetic polymers use materials from Earth that are nonrenewable.

B - They can end up as waste products that sometimes can’t be recycled.

C - They sometimes release toxins into the environment.

Explanation:

Not D - Synthetics are made so they aren't in limited supply

Not E - While this may be true it has not effect on the environment

There are two types of polymers, which are natural and synthetic. Although natural polymers do not affect the environment, synthetic polymers do.Synthetic polymers are anything that is manufactured or influenced by humans. Due to this, these types of polymers release reactants which are hazardous; both to humans and the environment.Synthetic polymers, which include plastics, rubber, How do polymers effect the environment?adhesives, and Styrofoam cannot be degraded into the environment, causing a buildup of these chemicals all at once, causing a release of any "excess" chemicals into the environment.From there on, polymers create garbage loads, and chemical reactants that effect the environment, and spread around. Therefore effecting anything grown or eaten around it. This could call chemical poisoning to the greenery, animals, and living organisms around it. Not all polymers are bad. In fact humans are made up of polymers. But polymers from sources such as crude oil synthesized into plastics release toxins as they break down. When you burn plastics synthesized from crude oil feedstock, carbon dioxide and dioxins can be released into the air if smoke is not properly <span>What are the bad effects of polymers on your environment?filtered as they are in high quality waste-to-energy incinerators. Also plastics </span>are non biodegradable and so landfills are used to bury the plastic this takes up space and also costs money because there is not enough room for all the <span>waste. Therefore plastics are banned in some areas.

1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?
devlian [24]

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!

The difference that exists between the inner and outer planets is - D. None of the inner planets have rings, whereas all the outer planets have rings.

Planets in the solar system are divided into two groups on the basis of distance from the sun are Inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun compared to the outer planets.

Inner planets:

  • include four planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
  • Also called terrestrial planets
  • small and rockier
  • very less or no natural satellites
  • No rings around them

Outer planets:

  • include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
  • called gaseous planets
  • larger and gaseous (hydrogen or helium)
  • numerous satellites
  • found rings around them.

Thus, the correct option: D. None of the inner planets have rings, whereas all the outer planets have rings.

DNA is made of two chains of nucleotides. Which type of bonds hold the chains together? hydrogen bonds covalent bonds ionic bond
Degger [83]

The right answr is hydrogen bonds

The hydrogen bond or hydrogen bridge is an intermolecular force involving a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom such as oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine. The intensity of a hydrogen bond is intermediate between that of a covalent bond and that of van der Waals forces.

The helices of the DNA (both strands) are maintained by hydrogen bonds.

Who is Gregor johann Mendel?
qaws [65]
I’ll give you a short overview of what I know.

He was a scientist, biologist, and wrote many books. He was specifically known for creating the science of genetics.

Mendel was born in 1822 into a poor farming family and then died January of 1884. He was an Austrian monk who discovered the basic principles of hereditary through experiments in his very own garden!

I’m sorry. I don’t believe this defines him. You can’t really define anyone in this short of a paragraph. To really know him, I’d have to do deeper research.
As for now, I hope this helps out. This probably just scratches the surface of who he really was. Have a great night!

All my best,
