Answer:Each straight line segment represents a bond, the ends and intersections of the lines are carbon atoms, and the correct number of hydrogens is calculated from the tetravalency of carbon. Non-bonding valence shell electrons are omitted in these formulas.Each line represents a single covalent bond (two shared electrons), so double lines represent a double covalent bond (four shared electrons). Covalent bonds are usually found in atoms that have at least two, and usually less than seven, electrons in their outermost energy shell, but this is NOT a hard and fast rule.

Answer:

Atoms are the smallest units of matter that still retain the fundamental chemical properties of an element. Much of the study of chemistry, however, involves looking at what happens when atoms combine with other atoms to form compounds. A compound is a distinct group of atoms held together by chemical bonds. Just as the structure of the atom is held together by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons surrounding it, the stability within chemical bonds is also due to electrostatic attractions. To illustrate further, consider the two major types of chemical bonds: covalent bonds and ionic bonds. In covalent bonds, two atoms share pairs of electrons, while in ionic bonds, electrons are fully transferred between two atoms so that ions are formed. Let’s consider both types of bonds in detail.

Which gland secretes the most important hormone controlling calcium balance in the blood?
quester [9]

Answer: The Parathyroid gland

Explanation:

The Parathyroid gland secretes "Parathormone", an hormone that exerts

- direct influence on the bone by INCREASING the release of bone calcium ion (Ca2+) into the blood

- affects the kidney by stimulating the renal tubules to eliminate EXCESS calcium in the urine.

Thus, the calcium balance of the body depends on the secretion of the Parathyroid gland
