Q

Polar covalent bond

A

A bond in which 2 or more different atoms combine, the electrons are NOT shared equally and shared electron charge or in negative pairs

17
Q

Difference between polar bond and hydron bond.

A

Polar bonds are combined by negative ends and hydrogen combines with opposite charges of their hydrogen and oxygen “ends”.

18
Q

How is salt added to the ocean?

A

By the atmosphere, under the earth, and by land.

19
Q

How is salt removed from the ocean?

A

It can either be dissolved or turns into sediment on the sea floor.

20
Q

What is osmoregulation?

A

the maintenance of constant osmotic pressure in the fluids of an organism by the control of water and salt concentrations.

21
Q

Why is alt added when you make ice cream?

A

Adding salt lowers the freezing temperature of water, it means that the water won’t freeze as easily

Q

The measure of dissolved salts in water is known as_______

A

Solution

A

Saturation

24
Q

In salt water which is the solute?

A

Salt

25
Q
