Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The bottom of pencil is placed at the starting point of scale. Whereas the tip of pencil depicts the end point of its length.
The bottom of pencil is at 0 mm and tip of pencil is at 18.73 mm. The appropriate amount of significant figures is 18.73 mm.
Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options, pencil is 18.73 mm long.
The "Van Gogh" one is subjective, because it expresses opinion and is not a true, hard fact. :)
Charge is the measure of extra positive or negative particles an object has
1-pentyne consists of a carbon chain of 5 carbons one with a triple bond. 1-octyne is a carbon chain of 8 carbons with a triple bond at some point. It is known that the longer the carbon chain the higher the boiling point since more energy will be required to break the bonds between carbons. Based on this it is predicted that 1-octyne will have a higher boiling point than 1-pentyne.
I believe that it most likely would be D.
