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.

Happy Holidays!

Select the correct statement about cellular respiration.

weeeeeb [17]

I dont want to mislead you, but I believe the answer is A because letter B is wrong because plants go through cellular respiration and photosynthesis, whereas animals go through cellular respiration but not photosynthesis, and for C, I've never heard of that so it doesnt seem likely.

According to the diagram below, what type of organism converts atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3) and then to nitrites (

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: Nitrogen-fixing Bacteria

Explanation:

In the Nitrogen cycle, nitrogen fixing bacteria are very important in ensuring that plants get nitrogen to enable them grow and as animals have to eat plants, these bacteria are essential for our survival as well.

Plants are unable to use atmospheric nitrogen but nitrogen-fixing bacteria are able to synthesize ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen. They can then convert this to Nitrites and Nitrates which are more useful to plants and animals by extension.

When the water cools and turns back into a liquid, this is known as ___________________.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: melting

Explanation: When water goes from its solid form (ice) back to its liquid form, this is known as MELTING. Condensation occurs when gas changes into liquid, not when ice changes into liquid.
