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.

In which biome would you most likely find plants that grow far apart from one another, with narrow leaves and shallow roots? Why

stiks02 [169]

A plant with narrow leaves and shallow roots would probably be found in the desert, where there is not a lot of water. Narrow leaves help prevent water loss. Shallow roots can spread out long distances in search of water. Plants living in the desert grow far apart from one another so that they don’t have to compete for limited amounts of water.

In many states, the legal limit for all bacteria present in pasteurized milk is not to exceed 20,000 CFU/mL. You have been away

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. The formula for finding the number of colonies in a given volume is,

CFU/ml, here CFU is the colony forming units or the number of colonies formed in a volume plated in ml × dilution

The dilution factor given in the question is 1 × 10⁻⁴ and the number of colonies given is 186. Therefore, the number of bacteria present in the given 1 ml of the milk is,

CFU/ ml = 186 / 1 × 10⁻⁴ = 186 × 10⁴.

Hence, the concentration of bacteria in the milk is 186 × 10⁴ CFU/ml.

b) The limit of the bacterial concentration in the pasteurized milk is 20000 CFU/ml, however, it can be seen that the sample of the milk possess more concentration of bacteria than the desired value. Therefore, the milk is not safe to drink by Public Health Standards.
