A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by what kind of bond?
ionic |
|
chemical |
|
covalent |
|
molecular |
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In covalent compounds, electrons are shared between atoms. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O |
|
O-negative |
|
AB |
|
O-positive |
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
273K |
|
32°F |
|
0°F |
|
0°C |
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude only |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only. A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol: \(\vec{v}\)
In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?
covalent |
|
chemical |
|
acidic |
|
ionic |
