Explanation

• When one atom loses an electron to form a cation and another atom gains that electron to form an anion, the resulting attraction between the oppositely charged ions is an ionic bond.
• This type of bond is typically formed between a metal and a nonmetal, and is characterized by a transfer of electrons rather than a sharing of electrons (as in covalent bonds).

Explanation

The periodic table divided into S, P, d, and f block based on Electronic Configuration.

• S block: The s block includes the first two columns of the periodic table, which are the alkali and alkaline earth metals.
• P block: The p block includes the elements in the six columns on the right side of the periodic table.
• D block: The d block includes the elements in the ten columns in the middle of the periodic table. These are also known as the transition metals.
• F block: The f block includes the elements at the bottom of the periodic table, which are known as the inner transition metals or lanthanides and actinides.

Explanation

• The high resolution of the electron microscope is primarily due to the short wavelength of the electron beam.
• This shorter wavelength allows for higher resolution and the ability to visualize smaller structures.

Explanation

Metabolic reactions are both constructive (anabolic) and destructive (catabolic) reactions.

Explanation

A stimulus is detected by a receptor.

It is a specialized cell or structure that converts the stimulus into an electrical signal that can be transmitted to the nervous system.

Explanation

• Diamond is a crystalline solid that has a sharp melting point.
• Meaning it melts at a specific temperature (around 4000 K) with a minimal range.

Explanation

• Gram atomic mass (GAM) is the atomic mass of an element expressed in grams.
• It represents the mass of one mole of atoms of that element.

Explanation

Most protists are aquatic, meaning they live in water environments, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and wetlands.

Many protists are single-celled and microscopic, while others are multicellular and macroscopic.

Explanation

The pigment responsible for the red color inside a watermelon is lycopene.

Lycopene is also found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables.
