Covalent bond (molecular bond): a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
1. Non-polar covalent bond: the electrons are shared equally between atoms
ex: CH₄ (methane)
2. Polar covalent bond: the electrons are not shared equality between atoms
ex: H₂O (water)
Ionic bond: a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges
ex: NaCl (sodium chloride)
To know the difference between ionic and covalent bonding, one must first understand the chemical difference between sharing electrons and being attracted by charges to one another.
Every atom wants to fulfill the octet rule, or, getting to a stable 8 electrons in its outermost shell. (Having 8 valence electrons)
Atoms in covalent bonds do this by sharing electrons. A good analogy to express this would be if there was a toy that we both wanted, but there was only one of them. Instead of you or I having it to ourselves, we would share. This is what atoms in covalent bonds do.
Atoms in ionic bonds do this by transferring electrons. Sodium loses an electron and chlorine gains an electron (becoming chloride). This is like you taking the toy to yourself. Now because sodium is now a positive ion and chloride is a negative ion, the two come together because opposite charges attract.
I really hope this helps!

Answer:
Monocots differ from dicots in four distinct structural features: leaves, stems, roots and flowers. ... Whereas monocots have one cotyledon (vein), dicots have two. This small difference at the very start of the plant's life cycle leads each plant to develop vast differences.
hope it helps
Answer:
Due to large size of genome.
Explanation:
The study of wheat genome is difficult task because of its large size. The genome of wheat comprise of 15 billion DNA bases. The wheat genome is three times bigger in size as compared to the genome of mammoth. Mammoth is an extincted specie of elephant which were the biggest land animal at that time. So due to large genome size of wheat, the scientists takes more time to complete its sequencing (order of nucleotide in the DNA).
On this question is about science and biology. And the answer is B. sulfhydryl group is a heat and chemical treatments it can straighten curly hair.
