Scientists use the scientific method all the time to help them understand things about certain topics. The scientific method is a list of steps that are used before, during, and after the experiment. The scientific method can help prove hypothesis about things and can tell you the outcome of the experiment.

"Work done by a constant force on an object is the product of the force and the distance moved by the object in the direction of the force" -textbook
There is work done ONLY if the direction of the force and the direction the item is moving are the same. In figure A, the direction of the force (the lifting) is upwards (defying gravity), and the book is moving upwards, so work is done. In figure B, the force is still moving upwards (the person is carrying the books) but the book is moving to the right, so there is NO work done.
Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared
Explanation:
The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.
Oxidation state is defined as the the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.
----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state to become stable forming the NaCl compound.
To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3, The phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states
I believe there are 3 significant figures B.
