all of these |
|
similar temperature |
|
similar density |

In which type of compound are electrons shared between atoms?
ionic |
|
covalent |
|
chemical |
|
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.
Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude only |
|
a magnitude and a direction |
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: \(\vec{v}\)
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
aorta |
|
capillaries |
|
arterioles |
|
veins |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
