When you understand the etymologies of scientific terms, they make a lot of sense in relation to the term. The etymologies themselves often serve as a reasonably okay definition for the term. 

Here's an example, many scientific terms have Greek or Latin etymologies. Take "archaeology" (for an example) Etymologically, it consists of two Greek words "archaeo" (old, ancient) and "logos" (a word, discourse, or study). Therefore, etymologically "archaeology" means "the study of old/ancient things." 

hope this helps!

Answer:

Etymology regularly expresses the origin of a word and the origin of its root or ending, with which a medium idea of the meaning of the word can be given even though it is not known.

Explanation:

The etymology of a word will allow you by means of the meaning and origin of its parts (either the root or the ending) to identify the meaning of the word, for example, perhaps you have heard the word <u>hepatitis</u>, and perhaps you do not know what it means, It turns out that the first part <u>"hepa" comes from a Latin word that refers to the liver</u>, while the second part <u>"itis" comes from a Latin word that refers to all kinds of inflammation</u>, so you could deduce that the<u> Hepatitis is a type of inflammation of the liver</u>, which would give you a general idea of the disease.

Anvisha [2.4K]

The total weight of both objects : 7.035 x 10⁻⁸ kg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The weight of a grain of sand : 3.5 x 10⁻¹⁰ kg

The weight of one hair from his eyebrow : 7 x 10⁻⁸ kg

Required

The total weight of both objects

Solution

Scientific Notation consists of 2 parts  

1. the first part: the first digit followed by the decimal point  

2. The second part: the power of 10 (the exponents).which shows the number of digits after the decimal point  

To add/subtract, the exponents must be the same and then add/subtract the coefficient

  • convert the largest exponent  (7 x 10⁻⁸)

7 x 10⁻⁸ = 700 x 10⁻¹⁰

  • add the coefficients  

\tt =(3.5+700)\times 10^{-10}\\\\=703.5\times 10^{-10}\\\\=7.035\times 10^{-8}

there are 3 isotopes of the element Gz: Gz-80,Gz-81,Gz-83. the average atomic mass of Gz is 82.74. what is the most abundant iso
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The most abundant isotope is Gz-83 because the average atomic mass of Gz is closer to 83.

The average atomic mass is defined as the weigthed mean of the isotopes.

The mass of the isotopes is 80, 81 and 83 uma, respectively.

As the average atomic mass (82.74uma) is closer to the atomic mass of Gz-83 than the mass of the other isotopes, you can interpretate that the most abundant isotope is Gz-83.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The more polar bond is C-O.

Explanation:

The greater polarity is due to that the Oxygen atom is more electronegative than the Nitrogen atom, so the negativity of the molecule tends to be on that side.
