The two compounds present
in unpolluted air are carbon dioxide and water. You may think that carbn
dioxide is a greenhouse gas, yes it is and at the same time not. There animals
in the earth that produces carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the carbon
dioxide too, is also need for plan respiration.
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
and
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
will form covalent bonds, so the answer will be:
e. II and III
Explanation:
To know is what type of bond is formed between atoms we need to look at the electronegativity difference between the atoms.
If the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 there is a nonpolar covalent bond.
If the electronegativity difference is between 0.4 and 1.8 there is a polar covalent bond. (if is a metal involved we consider the bond to be ionic)
If the electronegativity difference is greater then 1.8 there is an ionic bond.
We have the following cases:
I. lithium (Li) and sulfur (S)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 1 (Li) = 1.5 but because there is a metal involved the bond will be ionic
II. sulfur (S) and carbon (C)
electronegativity difference = 2.5 (S) - 2.5 (C) = 0 so the bond will be nonpolar covalent
III. fluorine (F) and oxygen (O)
electronegativity difference = 4 (F) - 3.5 (O) = 0.5 so the bond will be polar covalent bond.

Explanation:
The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.
I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.
- <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
- <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
- <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
- <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
- <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).
<u>Hope this helps!</u>
Answer:
Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.
