2 differences between ionic and covalent bond.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Ionic = transfer, covalent = share, ionic is between metal and nonmetal, covalent is between two nonmetals. All of these statements are oversimplifications that have no part in chemistry education.

Actually there is very little difference for real bonds. Essentially all bonds involve some degree of electron sharing. "Ionic" and "covalent" refer to ideal bonds much like we talk about ideal gases and real gases. Real bonds have characteristics of both ideal bond types. Real bonds lie along a continuum with the ideal bond types at either end. The general consensus is that only the bonds between the metals in groups 1 and 2 and the most electronegative nonmetals have substantially high ionic character.

The vast majority of bonds are closer to the middle of the range between the two bond types, with a lot more sharing of electrons than transferring. Indeed, some of the sharing of electrons is somewhat one-sided, with the more electronegative element having a slight negative charge, and the more electropositive element having a slight positive charge. Bonds like this are polar covalent bonds.

Matt has found a book on various marine zones. A picture illustrates a zone that shows diffused penetration of sunlight in water
Ugo [173]

Answer:

the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone

Explanation:

Marine zones are the divisions of the ocean. The ocean is divided into two basic parts; the pelagic or open ocean, and the benthic or sea floor.

The pelagic zone is further divided into five broad zones according to how far down sunlight penetrates and they are:

1) the epipelagic, euphotic, or sunlit zone: the top layer of the ocean where enough sunlight penetrates for plants to carry on photosynthesis.

2) the mesopelagic, dysphotic, or twilight zone: a dim zone where some light penetrates, but not enough for plants to grow.

3) the bathypelagic, aphotic, or midnight zone: the deep ocean layer where no light penetrates.

4) the abyssal zone: the pitch-black bottom layer of the ocean; the water here is almost freezing and its pressure is immense.

5) the hadal zone: the waters found in the ocean's deepest trenches.

Write me a brief description of a Nerve Signal. (Only one sentence)
astraxan [27]

Description of a nerve signal

The nerve signal, or action potential, is a coordinated movement of sodium and potassium ions across the nerve cell membrane. Here's how it works: As we discussed, the inside of the cell is slightly negatively charged (resting membrane potential of -70 to -80 mV).
