It's called simple diffusion, the small molecules without charges such as oxygen and carbon dioxide can flow through a plasma membrane without assistance and without expending energy. Other substances such as proteins, glucose and charged particles called ions cannot pass through the selectively permeable membrane.

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.

Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to obtain the number of moles of the solute we desired to prepare;
Number of moles = molarity x volume
Parameters given;
volume of solution = 500mL = 0.5L
molarity of solution = 0.5M
Number of moles = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25moles
Now to know the volume stock to take;
Volume of stock = 
molarity of stock = 4M
volume = 
= 0.0625L or 62.5mL
Answer:
Solvents are substances in which solutes dissolves while solutes are substances that dissolve in solvents and solutions result from mixing solvents and solutes.
Explanation:
- A solvent is a substance such as water that dissolves a solute.
- A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. For example, when sodium chloride dissolves in water, sodium chloride is the solute and water is the solvent.
- A solution, on the other hand, results from combining a solute and a solvent. Therefore, a mixture of water and sodium chloride forms the solution.
