An unprotected traveler's blood would boil at normal body temperatures because the pressure is so low. Temperatures in the mesophere decreases with altitude, because there are few gas molecules in the mesophere to absorb the sun's radiation, the heat source is the stratosphere below. The air in the mesophere has extremely low density and as a result the air pressure is very low.
Nitrogen is a major component by which plants use sun energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide. (It is also a major component of amino acids)
Answer:
Water is a covalent compound.
Explanation:
covalent compounds are individual molecules characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Two atoms with similar electronegativity will not exchange an electron from their outermost shell; the atoms instead share electrons so that their valence electron shell is filled.
Example:
Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O) and iodine monobromide (IBr).
Properties:
1. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds may exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
2. Covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.
3. Covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.
