    Bond Electrons
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying types of chemical bonds and their characteristics, specifically regarding electron transfer and sharing. Participants confirm that bond Y involves electron transfer, bond X involves equal sharing, and bond Z causes partial charges in atoms. An anion is correctly identified as atom 4, and bond Y is noted to result in the highest melting point. The conversation highlights that the nature of the bonds can vary based on the elements involved, particularly in the context of fluorocarbons and their bonding behavior.

1. which letter shows a bond where electrons are being transferred?
2. which letter shoes a bond where electrons are equally shared?
3. which letter shows a bond that would cause each atom to become partially charged
4. which atom can be considered an anion?
5. which bond above would cause the compound to have the highest melting point?

answers: Y,X,Z,4,Y


are they correct??
thanks!

P.S. EN stands for electronegativity

anion i believe is negative charged atom correct, so then i am correct by saying that it is atom 4 in question #4
 
remember, anions occur when electrons are transfered...
 
so it would be 3 then?
 
well it depends what '3' is attached to. fluorocarbons are not ionicly bonded, but fluorine is commonly an anion. So both 3 and 4 could be anions, but it would depend what they are bonded with.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
