Electronegativity

2007-07-03T00:59:09Z

Sprokofiev:

A measure of how strongly an [[atom]] attracts extra [[electron]]s to itself.<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Chemistry''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1998</ref> Electronegativity is assigned a number on an arbitrary scale from roughly 0 to 4, depending on the method of calculation. Metals have electronegativities less than 2. Electronegativity increases from left to right on the periodic chart, and decreases from top to bottom. Thus fluorine is the most electronegative atom, having an electronegativity very close to 4.

Amoebas

Sprokofiev:

{{stub}}
Any of various tiny unicellular [[aquatic]] or [[parasite|parasitic]] [[organism]]s. They are classified as [[protozoa]]ns of the [[genus]] '''Amoeba''' or related genera. They have no solid form, instead consisting of a mass of [[protoplasm]] containing one or more [[nuclei]] surrounded by a flexible outer [[membrane]]. It moves by means of [[pseudopod]]s. Some amoeba are parasites that cause amoebic dysentery. According to the Colonial Theory<ref>
John O. Corliss: Systematic Zoology, Vol. 8, No. 4 (Dec., 1959), pp. 169-190</ref>, in evolution history, amoeba-like organisms are believed to have contributed to the origin of multicellular organisms by clumping together to form colonies during food shortage, and eventually differentiating into various types of cells to give rise to the first multicellular organisms.
