Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Bond Types

First, let's identify the types of bonds listed:

  • Ionic bond: Formed when one atom donates an electron to another, creating ions.
  • Polar covalent bond: Formed when electrons are shared unequally between atoms.
  • Hydrogen bond: A weak bond between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
  • Van der Waals interaction: Weak attractions between molecules or parts of molecules.
  • Nonpolar covalent bond: Formed when electrons are shared equally between atoms.
Step 2: Determine the Bond Type Between Carbon and Hydrogen

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, meaning they share electrons relatively equally. This sharing of electrons equally between two atoms forms a nonpolar covalent bond.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{nonpolar covalent bond}}\)

The term Blank 1 describes the stiffness of Blank 2 that occurs a few hours after death. The reason for the stiffness is because when a person dies; tissues begin to deteriorate and break down. In muscle cells, as the Blank 3 breaks down, they release calcium ions into the Blank 4. These ions diffuse to the sarcomere where they bind to Blank 5. This results in tropomyosin being moved to expose the myosin binding sites on the Blank 6 molecule. Myosin then binds to the actin, resulting in contraction. Blank 7 binding is required to release the myosin head from the actin, but since the person is dead, there is no more ATP produced, so the muscles remain Blank 8, resulting in rigor mortis. They remain contracted until enzymes from lysosomes destroy the actin and myosin myofilaments, allowing the limbs to relax once more in death.
