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."

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.

Is C8H18 an electrolyte or non-electrolyte
podryga [215]

C₈H₁₈ is a non-electrolyte

Why?

Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. In order to do that, they need to have bonds that are polar enough to be able to dissociate, and the ions formed need to be soluble in water.

C₈H₁₈ is a compound that has a low electronegativity difference between its atoms, making it to be a covalent compound where electrons are shared, and making it non-polar, and difficult to dissociate. Thus, it is a non-electrolyte.

One possible structure for C₈H₁₈ is attached below. It's called octane.

Have a nice day!
