Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms forms a covalent bond.<span> Covalent
bonding is when atoms share electrons. It is a chemical bond that involves the
sharing of electron pairs. These pairs are called bonding pairs. Examples of
compounds that has covalent bonds are CO2, organic compounds, lipids and
proteins.</span>
Answer:
a - carbon is not toxic to living things
Explanation:
The reason carbon dating works is that the fresh carbon-14 gets mixed in with the rest of the carbon in the atmosphere and, since it's chemically identical to regular carbon, gets worked into whatever is presently absorbing atmospheric carbon
<u>Answer:</u> Yes, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.
The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.
<u>For Example:</u> Formation of sodium chloride
Sodium is a metal and is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of ![[Ne]3s^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E1)
To form
ion, this element will loose 1 electron.
Chlorine is a non-metal and is the 17th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of
.
To form
ion, this element will gain 1 electron.
By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
So, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine atom is NaCl
Hence, metals and non-metals forms ionic bonds.
Nitrogenous base. These are Adenine (A), Glycine (G), Thymine (T) or Uracil (U), and Cytosine (C).
A always pairs T (or U in RNA)
G always pairs with C
