Answer : 3. "Mitochondria"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Mitochondria Explanation: Cellular respiration is the multi-step process that creates energy from nutrients and food molecules.

Answer : 1. "a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds"
Explanation :

Answer: A) a nonpolar molecule with polar bonds Explanation: The four bonds of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are polar, but the molecule is nonpolar because the bond polarity is cancelled by the symmetric tetrahedral shape. Hence, making the net dipole as zero and molecule as non-polar.   When other atoms substitute for some of the Cl atoms, the symmetry is broken and the molecule becomes polar.

Q: Which two atoms form an ionic bond? 2034 0

  • Show AnswerHide Answer
  • Workspace

Answer :
Explanation :

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another.. This bond generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.   Example :: One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.
