Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.
The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.

Answer: This is hard to do accurately, but here is my best assessment.
Explanation:
Experiment: B - describes how the experiment was done
Conclusion: A - The data support the prevailing hypothesis
Research: D - This is what we analyzed
Analysis: C - We compared the data
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.
Answer:
3- gamma radiation
Explanation:
Hello,
In the above question, 4 of the options are related to polymerization which are
1. Synthetic polymer
2. Natural polymer
3. Condensation polymerization
4. Addition polymerization.
The first two options are types of polymer that exists while the last two are polymerization techniques.
The odd option here which is "gamma radiation" is a particle which is emitted from radioactive substances during decay. It has no mass and no charge but it is highly penetrating and dangerous to human health.
However,
Synthetic polymers are also known as man made polymers and they exist around us because they're present in materials which we use everyday. An example is polyethylene, nylon-6,6 etc
Natural polymers are compounds which are polymeric in nature (compounds catenating to form a complex molecule). Natrual occurring polymers can be found in proteins and some lipids.
Methanoic acid has a molecular formula of HCOOH, when form an ester it's HCOO-, so the rest of the ester is -C4H9, a saturated 4 carbon chain. As shown in the attached diagram, there are 4 structural isomers, and the third isomer has 2 stereoisomers. So the answers is D:5.
