Which of the following determines whether or not a material is magnetic? 1. The density of the material
2. The weight of the material on Earth
3. The alignment of atoms in the material
4. The number of elements that make up the material

You have been asked to lead a demonstration for the undergraduate microbiology lab course about the uses of negative staining when studying bacteria. a "negative" stain does not stain the bacterial cell itself but stains the space between cells. under magnification, the acidic (negativelycharged) nature of the stain will be repelled by the negatively charged bacterial cell wall and willleave the cell colorless in a stained background. negative stains are used primarily to reveal the presence of negatively charged bacterial capsules; therefore, they are also called capsule stains. encapsulated cells appear to have a halo surrounding them. the negative stain procedure does not require heat fixation, which limits any chances of alteration in bacterial cell shape and size. the bacterial suspension is added to a drop of stain, such as nigrosin or eosin, and drawn across the glass slide using a coverslip.nigrosin staining-not safranin staining-of klebsiella pneumoniae will allow for the visualization of the cell shape and the determination of the presence of a capsule.true/false

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

The table presents the average day and night temperatures in five cities. it also reveals whether a city receives substantial rainfall (wet climate) or little rainfall (dry climate). which city’s rocks are likeliest to experience frost wedging, and why? a) city a because the consistently subzero temperature would prevent water from melting b) city b because it is a wet region and the temperature fluctuates around the freezing point c) city c because it receives plenty of rain fall and the weather is moderately cool d) city d because the hot and dry weather would cause rocks to absorb water
