In which type of compound does one atom borrow an electron from another atom?

acidic

covalent

ionic

chemical


Solution

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.

aorta


Solution

The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle.

Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
