5 0

Answer:

Actually, a covalent bond is formed between two non-metals. Electrons are shared between the two atoms in order for them to achieve a full outer shell. Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity.   An ionic bond is formed between a mental and a non-metal. Electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-mental atoms to form ions. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved.

The oxygen have two shared pairs in double bond and two lone pairs in non bonding. Carbon and oxygen form covalent bond. This satisfies the octet rule because the electrons are shared in both oxygen and carbon octet.

Which of the following statements does NOT describe a vertebrate eye?
Scrat [10]

The correct answer is: d. it contains many light-sensing columns called ommatidia

Ommatidia are units that form compound eyes of arthropods such as insects, crustaceans and millipedes (these are invertebrates) and make them very sensitive to motion. Ommatidia are composed of photoreceptor cells (visual detection) surrounded by support cells and pigment cells.

The eyes of vertebrates are more complex showing that progressive improvements in the structure of the eye occurred during the evolution.

Which of the factors explains most of the differences in standards of living among countries around the world?
statuscvo [17]
The factor that explains most of the difference in standards of living among countries around the world is PRODUCTIVITY.
One major measure that can be used to determine the standard of living of people in a particular country is the growth rate of the its Gross Domestic Product [GDP] per capita. The growth rate of GDP is a reflection of the labour productivity of that country. Labour productivity refers to the measurement of the amount of goods and services that are produced in a country by one hour of labour. An increase in productivity signifies an increase in the standard of living of the people in the country. Labour productivity differs from one country to another and this result in difference in the standard of living.
