What results from an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms?

To become a positive ion, does an atom lose or gain an electron?

Plants grow in many different shapes and sizes. Much of their shape depends on an internal structure that is composed of carbon-containing molecules such as cellulose and lignin. Plants that have a strong internal structure can grow larger than other plants because their structure can support their size. Plants obtain the majority of the carbon necessary for building these structural molecules from - O air O microorganisms O soil O water 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 近
