Potassium donates its electron in the outermost shell to the chlorine atom in order to form the ionic bond.
The ionic bond between potassium and nitrate ions.
Base pairingg base pairing
In a covalent bond the electrons are shared between the elements to form an octet. However, in an ionic bond the metal gives up its electron in order to have a perfect octet and the nonmetal takes the electron in order to have a perfect octet.
No. An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Since oxygen and nitrogen are both nonmetals, they form a covalent bond.
the bond is called a hydrogen bond:)
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
Nucleic acid is formed with a sugar phosphate backbone. The sugar can be made of a ribose surgar to from RNA or a deoxyribose sugar for DNA. The final component is a nitrogenous base, which can be adenosine, cytosine etc.
In producing a strand of DNA the nucleotides combine to form phosphodiester bonds.
The connection between nucleotides is between the sugar of the first nucleotide and the phosphate of the second. These are covalent bonds yielding a covalently attached sugar-phosphate backbone.
Nucleotides (A,T,C,G) are read in groups of three during transcription and translation. These groups of three nucleotides are called "codons". The codon codes for one of the 20 amino acids found in mammals. Amino acids are assembled in a chain to form a protein. So, the order of the nucleotides determines the composition and form of the desired protein.
They join together in a condensation reaction.

Dideoxynucleotides have no OH group on the sugar of the nucleotides, only H's. That means phosphate groups can't react with the sugar to form a phosphodiester bond to join two nucleotides together, so DNA syntheses is terminated

The ionic bond between potassium and nitrate ions.
nucleotides that are the building blocks of nucleic acids are made up of sugar, a nitrogen base and phosphate group
