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.

Citric acid (right) is concentrated in citrus fruits and plays a central metabolic role in nearly every animal and plant cell.
arlik [135]

<u>0.549 mol</u> of citric acid are in 1.50 qt of lemon juice (d = 1.09 g/mL) that is 6.82% citric acid.

<h3>What is citric acid?</h3>

Citric acid is an organic compound with a chemical formula ofHOC(CO_2H)(CH_2CO_2H)_2 . It is a weak organic acid that is colourless. Citrus fruits naturally produce it. It is a biochemical intermediary in the citric acid cycle, which is a process that all aerobic organisms go through during metabolism.

Every year, more than two million tonnes of citric acid are produced. It is frequently employed as a chelating agent, an acidifier, and a flavouring

Citrates, which include salts, esters, and the polyatomic anion present in solution, are derivatives of citric acid. Trisodium citrate is an example of the former; triethyl citrate is an example of an ester.

Explanation: The atomic number is the same number of protons in an element or isotope and if said isotope is neutral than it is the same number of electrons.

Example: Atomic number = 19 Protons = 19 if neutral Electrons = 19

magine that an uncharged pith ball is brought into the electrostatic field of a charged rod. The side of the pith ball closest t
ivanzaharov [21]
Answer: option <span>D. be given a positive charge produced by the movement of electrons to the other end of the ball.
</span>

Explanation:


This phenomenon is called electrostatic induction.


The excess of negative charge on the end of the rod will repel the electrons on the side of the pith ball that have been approached to it.

Then the electrons on the pith ball will move far away from this end with it will be left an excess of positive charge.

In this way the rod has induced that the ball acquires a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the other end.
