Answer: The correct answer is they form an ionic bond by exchanging an electron.

Explanation: There are 2 types of bond that can be formed between the elements.

1. Ionic bond: These bonds are formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another. The element which donates an electron is a n electropositive element and an element which accepts an electrons is an electronegative element.

2. Covalent bond: These bonds are formed when there is sharing of electrons between two elements.

Lithium is the 3rd-element of the periodic table having electronic configuration: 1s^22s^1

This element can easily loose 1 electron.

Fluorine is the 9th-element of the periodic table having electronic configuration: 1s^22s^22p^5

This element can easily accept 1 electron.

Hence, these elements form ionic bond because there is complete transfer of electrons from lithium to fluorine. As, only 1 electron is getting transferred from lithium to fluorine. Therefore, the correct answer is they form an ionic bond by exchanging an electron.

Well..it will definitely hurt the consumer of the grass..but it wont hurt as much as it would the apex predator. So lets say a rabbit eats grass and then a snake eats the rabbit and an eagle eats the snake.....well because of the grass depletion that means some rabbits wont be able to eat meaning that some snakes wont be able to eat and that hurts the eagle the most because hes supposed to eat rabbits and snakes and now their both gone. hope i helped

On the real ocean floor alternating stripes of normal and reversed polarity are not al equal width. What do this tell you about
Tpy6a [65]

Varies

Explanation:

From the differences in the width of the alternating stripes, we can conclude that the lengths of time represented by this evidence varies.

Normal and reversed polarity do not have equal length of time when they occur.

  • The paleomagnetic field just like the earths geomagnetic field we have today varies from time to time.
  • During period of normal polarity, the north pole of the geomagnetic field is close to that of the earth.
  • At reversed polarity, the north of the magnet changes position.
  • Their is no regular interval to this
  • Magma that are getting magnetized during this period will have different variations in the width of the magnetic fields.
  • The width of the stripe shows the duration of the anomaly.
  • Since the geomagnetic field takes their root from the core, the intensity varies and it affects the extent of magnetization of magnetic minerals in rocks.

The light reactions require the cooperation of 2 photosystems to power linear electron flow from h2o to NADP+.?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Only Photosystem I  - 1, 5, 6

Only photosystem II - 3, 2

Both Photosystem I and II   - 4

Explanation:

Only Photosystem I  

a) Reduction of NADP+ -  uses light energy to convert NADP+ to NADPH2

b)  Reduction of electron transport chain between the two photosystems

c) Oxidation of electron transport chain between the two photosystems.

Only photosystem II

a)  Oxidation of water - here the absorbed light energy is used to dissociate of water molecules to produces protons (H+) and O2 along with free ions

b)Reduction of primary electron acceptor - An electron is taken by pheophytin which is a primary electron acceptor molecule that is  located within photosystem II and hence it get reduced.

Both Photosystem I and II  

a) Light is absorbed in both photosystem I and II. While in photosystem I, light waves of large wavelength i.e 700 nm are absorbed, in photosystem II light waves of short wavelength of i.e 680 nm are absorbed.

bicarbonate ions in blood can absorb hydrogen ions, keeping pH balanced. bicarbonate is acting as a ________  in blood?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Buffer is an aqueous solution that resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. A buffer solution is typically composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base. There are three major buffer systems that are responsible for regulating blood pH: the bicarbonate buffer system, the phosphate buffer system, and the plasma protein buffer system. Of the three buffer systems, the bicarbonate buffer system is arguably the most important as it is the only one that is coupled to the respiratory system
