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

Biology

devlian [24]3 years ago

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.

Olegator [25]

Explanation:

Lucille's cells need oxygen. In order for cells to properly function, they need to be oxidized. If Lucille's respiratory system is not working then her body cannot receive the oxygen that it needs in order to send to her blood cells. The circulatory system pumps Lucilles's blood around her body but if there is no oxygen, Lucille's cells/heart cannot properly function, this making it difficult for her to play soccer.

How do scientists put a gene from one organism into another?
bogdanovich [222]
They first 'cut out' genes using precise biological 'scissors' – restriction enzymes – and paste them into DNA from another organism like a bacterium or yeast where it is copied many thousands or millions of times. Molecular model of a restriction enzyme bound to DNA.
