What are two ways that covalent polyatomic particles can become ions?
If an element with a high electron affinity (like oxygen) is part of a polyatomis molecule. one or more of the missing valence e' can sometimes be filled by a nearby extra e' instead of sharing elctrons with other atoms:)
Is C H ionic or covalent bond?
No. A hydrogen bond occurs when H is bonded to a strongly electronegative element like oxygen in a compound. The oxygen attracts the electrons in the bond stronger than the hydrogen setting up partial positive and partial negative charges in the H and O respectively in a single molecule. A nearby molecule with the same charges will be attracted (opposites attract, even with these partial charges.) This attraction from one molecule to another is a hydrogen bond because it involves the hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge.
How can chemicals used by farms and factories poison nearby waterways?
Fertilizers, weedkillers, fungicides and pesticides can all be washed into nearby waterways by irrigation or rainfall.
How are ionic bonds and van der waals forces similar?
an ionic bond is formed when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another. when molecules are close together a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules, known as van der waals forces.
What type of elements occur in a covalent bond?
Elements do not "occur" in bonds. Instead, elements form bonds between themselves. If the question means "Between what types of elements are covalent bonds likely to form?", the answer is "elements with very similar electronegativities". The smallest possible difference between electronegativities is that between two atoms of the same element, such as is present in the diatomic elements hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine and in the polyatomic element carbon in its diamond crystal form.
How do you construct a hypothesis to test the claim that mint cools things down?
Simple. For the hypothesis, you state what you are trying to prove as a fact: The presence of mint will cool nearby substances..You would then go about testing this by making pairs of substances and introducing mint or mint products (choose one) into one half of the pairs and use the other half as a control. You would then measure the temperature of all of the substances (mint and control) over time and compare the data. You would quickly discover that the hypothesis is false; the presence of mint has no effect on the temperature of nearby substances.
What type of bonding involves the sharing of electrons?
Covalent bonding.
Why can epithelial cells survive without blood vessels?
They receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from nearby tissue.
What slight attraction that develops between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules?
When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules. Chemists call such intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces. (This also occurs in the phenomenon known as Hydrogen-bonding.) What is the alternate of a slight attraction - it is called the covalent bond. Note that an ionic bond is a type of covalent bond.

What is the function of the capilliary?
to permit the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissue cells substances such as oxygen, vitamins minerals and amnio acids passes through the tissue fluid to nourish the nearby cells and substances such as carbon dioxide and waste are passed out of the cells.
Which of the following is a way that cells can communicate with each other?
Transmit electrochemical signals, secrete substances into blood stream, ans release molecules that spread to nearby cells
Why were most lynching victims hung from trees?
Because they were nearby. Lynchings took place quickly, so people would be murdered with whatever was available.
What type of attraction exists between the slight positive charge of a hydrogen atom and slight negative charge of a nearby atom?
When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules. Chemists call such intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces. (This also occurs in the phenomenon known as Hydrogen-bonding.) What is the alternate of a slight attraction - it is called the covalent bond. Note that an ionic bond is a type of covalent bond.
Nearby galaxies may not show a redshift?
Nearby galaxies won't show much of a redshift, because they aren't moving away very quickly - or at all. For example, the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is actually getting closer - and will collide with the Milky Way in about 3 billion years.

How is an internal plant area defined?
Plants are multicellular organs with either rigid or flexible cell walls. The cell walls contain cellulose as well. They produce their own food from organic substances nearby.
