Biology

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.

How is the ownership of the oceans resource Determined

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

technically its everyone's but isn't at the same time

Explanation:

The UN Convention on the Law of the Seas states the different rights and regulations regarding specific nations’ rights to oceans. For instance, coastal states have jurisdiction over the 12 nautical miles off their coastlines, and 200 nautical miles are reserved for specific states to utilize the oceanic materials, living and nonliving, in their zone. This can include fishing, the mining of minerals but also includes the obligation to protect the ocean and its biodiversity.

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____. a feature resulting from earthquake activity a feature

Monica [59]

The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.

The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.

The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.

With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.

DNA is different from RNA in that

Olegator [25]

Answer:

RNA contains an additional oxygen atom on the ribose sugar. (Ans. C)

Explanation:

RNA contains a sugar which is known as ribose, and which contains an extra group of hydroxyl (OH-) while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.

RNA contains four nitrogenous bases cytosine, adenine, guanine, and uracil, while DNA contains cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.

Double helix means two stranded structure like DNA, while RNA is single stranded.

DNA molecule is much longer polymer than RNA molecule.
