All ionic compounds are polar. This is because ionic compounds consist of ions of opposite charges held together by electrostatic forces of attraction.

They are correlate with some illness like cancer, thyroid problems and infertility.
Answer:
(a). Biological fixation
(b). Fixation by lightning
Explanation:
Gaseous nitrogen in the atmosphere has to be converted or "fixed" into a suitable form before it can be utilised by living organisms.
There two main ways of nitrogen fixation are
(a). Biological fixation: Majority (approximately 90%) of nitrogen fixation is carried out by bacteria. Bacterias such as Cyanobacteria transforms nitrogen into ammonium and ammonia : N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3. The produced ammonia can then be taken in directly by plants and /or the conversion products of ammonium and ammonia may further react in the process of nitrification.
(b). Fixation by lightning: Lightning energy causes the combination nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) forming nitrates (NO3) and ammonia (NH3) . Rain water dissolves the formed nitrates and ammonia and the solution is drained into the ground, where they can be reached by plants plant roots for consumption.
Answer:
Hierarchies and schemes are important for organizing information. They provide a way to group related information together and to see the relationships between different pieces of information.
