Time Period 3 (300 BC to 1400 AD)
The alchemists were in pursuit of 2 ideals. First, alchemy came about from the belief that cheap metals can be transmuted to gold using the legendary substance <em>Philosopher's Stone</em> for the conversion. These views were greatly influenced by Aristotle. Thus, from 300 BC to 1400 AD, alchemists worked to make the conversion of cheap metals to gold a reality. However, it never succeeded.
After this, the second ideal that the alchemists were in pursuit of was the concoction of an elixir of life to enable people to live longer and cure all ailments. This took place in the 1500s up to the end of the 1600s. Just like the pursuit of the first ideal, efforts to succeed in the second one all led to failure.
Answer:
In the central nervous system, about 90 percent of the cells are glia. Originally, the glia was considered to be passive cells, that is, which only functions to support the nerve cells physically, thus, the term glia is used, which means glue.
However, the glia plays an essential function in various homeostatic procedures and also at the time of development. The four prime kinds of glia prevail, that is, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells. The glial cells are also known as the supporting cells of the nervous system.
The prime functions of glial cells are to provide oxygen and nutrients to the neurons, to envelope neurons and hold them in position, to eradicate and remove the carcasses of the dead neurons, and to insulate one neuron from another.

Explanation:
We define the formal charge on an atom in a molecule as the charge it carries assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds of the molecule were shared equally between atoms irrespective of the electronegativity of each atom.
The formula for calculating the formal charge on an atom in a molecule is;
Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on neutral atom] – [(number of lone electron pairs) + (½ number of bonding electrons)] ·
The formal charge on the two nitrogen atoms in diazomethane is obtained as follows;
Middle nitrogen atom = 5 – 8/2 – 0 = +1
Last nitrogen atom = 5 – 4/2 – 4 = –1
The Lewis structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached.
