1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?

Biology
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a population of plants that have either purple flowers or white flowers, a
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Natural selection by directional selection, was the driving force of evolution at work. The purple flowers parents were able to withstand the selective pressure and therefore emerged from completions with other flowers from previous generation, thus their dominance follow directional selection. This was the trait inherited by their offspring, the dominant purple

The gene pool of purple flower will be large; because of dominance in expression with each successive generation in both homozygote and heterozygote state, and therefore higher frequency of expression compared to the white flowers.

The frequency of allele depends on the rate expression of the allele in the population. Thus, the dominant purple flowers have high frequency of expression compared to the recessive white flowers which can only express itself in homozygote  recessive state
