Answer:
In the natural world, limiting factors like the availability of food, water, shelter and space can change animal and plant populations. Other limiting factors, like competition for resources, predation and disease can also impact populations. Other changes in limiting factors will cause a population to decrease.
Answer: 1. Ethylene is a stable molecule with two carbon atoms connected by a double bond. Polyethylene is made by the reaction of multiple ethylene molecules in the presence of a catalyst.
2. The term “plastics” includes materials composed of various elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine, and sulfur.
3. Polyethylene (PE) is made by the reaction of multiple ethylene molecules in the presence of catalysts to break the double bond and connect the carbon atoms into a chain . The longer the chain, the higher the molecular weight. Polymers can have molecular weights in the millions.
Explanation:
Answer:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12.
Explanation:
The weights of all elements are always compared to the Carbon-12 because the mass of carbon is 12 which is the exactly the sum of protons and neutrons.
Oxygen was also considered the standard for some time but later this stander was rejected because in natural O¹⁷ and O¹⁸ were also present and this create the two different atomic mass tables.
AMU:
Atomic mass unit is define as the 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
C12 has six neutron and six protons in the nucleus.
This unit is used to express the masses of atoms. We know that masses of atoms are very small and we do not have any such type of balance that can measure very small quantity. So that is way we use this scale to measure small quantity. For example, according to this scale
relative atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.008 amu
relative atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu
relative atomic mass of uranium is 238.0289 amu
relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35.453 amu
Matter - anything with mass and occupies space
accuracy - an indication of how close a measurement is to the correct result
precision - the degree to which a measurement can be replicated
meniscus - the curved top surface of a liquid column
volume - spaced occupied measured in cubic units
density - mass of an object per unit volume
Answer:
Explanation:
A measurement is the action of measuring something, or some amount of stuff. So it is important to measure certain things right, distance, time, and accuracy are all great things to measure. By measuring these things or in other words, by taking these measurements we can better understand the world around us.
