If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.
When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.
If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."

population is the number of species living in a given area if this is regarding biology or earth studies :)
Arsenic, I believe. Metalloids fall in between metals and nonmetals (usually on the bold line separating the two on the periodic table). And since the metalloid in question has four electron shells and five valence electrons in the outermost shell, you can see that this element is arsenic
This is the definition of a DNA mutation.
Depending on which part of the genome is affected, the consequences of a mutation may vary. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is transmitted to the next generation (see germinal mutations). It is one of the elements of biodiversity and one of the many factors that may be involved in the evolution of the species.
The actual number of atoms of each element present in the molecule of the compound is represented by the formula known as molecular formula.
Molar mass of the unknown compound = 223.94 g/mol (given)
Mass of each element present in the unknown compound is determined as:
- Mass of carbon,
:
- Mass of hydrogen,
:
- Mass of chlorine,
:
Now, the number of each element in the unknown compound is determined by the formula:
- Number of moles of :
- Number of moles of :
- Number of moles of
Dividing each mole with the smallest number of mole, to determine the empirical formula:
Multiplying with 2 to convert the numbers in formula into a whole number:
So, the empirical formula is 
.
Empirical mass = 
In order to determine the molecular formula:
n = 
n = 
So, the molecular formula is:
