- Bell Creek Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Bell Creek Unit, east of Sequim, is ecologically diverse and includes deciduous dominant riparian forest, marsh and forested wetland, wet upland meadow, and Oregon white oak-woodland prairie. WDFW manages the unit for conservation, restoration, and enhancement of these habitats. Prairie habitat supports many kinds of unique wildlife and plants not found in surrounding forests.
- Covalent bond (Wikipedia)
A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding. For many molecules, the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full valence shell, corresponding to a stable electronic configuration. In organic chemistry, covalent bonding is much more common than ionic bonding, where atoms are separate and merely associated by electrostatic attraction.
