 <span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Hope this helps</span>

Determine whether each statement is an example of a physical change or a chemical change. Newspaper yellows in the sun. Physical
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

the newspaper one is a chemical change because the chemicals in the paper have reacted with something and turned a different color. the wax one is a physical change because it is a change in the phase of matter, which is always a physical change (still the same substance chemically)

Match the following items. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. general or nonspecific observ
ivann1987 [24]
when column B is like the attached pic: (missing in your question)

so the matches will be like that:

1- Qualitative :

as Qualitative is a general or nonspecific observation, they also don't require

measurements and even can't be measured, that is because of the reality is

being approximated only. It  describes qualities and uses opinion

2- Hypothesis : 

as a hypothesis is an educated guess quantitative, and it is a prediction stated

in " If and then " form. a hypothesis to be valid need a research such as:

-Encyclopedia & state and local research facilities & scientific journals.

3- Direct relationship:

as a Direct relationship is when two variable change in the same direction,

and one remaining larger than the other by the same factory.  

- this is a type of a relationship in which there is a change with one variable, and corresponding with the change in the other. and because this corresponding change with the other variable in the same direction so it refers to a positive relationship. 

4- Quantitative:

as Quantitative is a measured observation, It's an information or data based

on quantities obtained. And using numbers, equipment and standard units.

5- Control :

as control is standard, reference data or experiment qualitatively. this is what

you compare your experimental results to. This is for comparing results, it

used as a standard for comparison and use baseline measurements to use in

the comparing.

6- Theory :

 as Theory is a presently accepted explanation of how something happened.

 Scientifically acceptable general principles to explain phenomena. It the

general or abstract principles of the science. for example the  wave theory of

light.

7- Law :

as a law is a statement that explains what something does under the same

conditions. when we take about law in science, it is a general rule to explain

the observations in the form of a mathematical statement. Scientific law may 

be stated in words or expressed as a mathematical equations.

8- Best fit curve:

as best fit curve is a curve drawn to average the data's deviations direct

relationship. It is a process of constructing a curve that has best fit to a

series of data points.

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase:  Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.

On increasing which of the following factors, decreases the extent of physisorption? Surface area of the adsorbent Critical temp
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: On increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.

Explanation:

An adsorption where molecules of the adsorbate are placed or held on the surface of adsorbent by Vander waals forces is called physisorption.

There is basically physical bonding between the molecules of gas to the surface of a solid or liquid.

Physisorption is reversible in nature and occurs at low temperatures.

It is not specific in nature which means that all gases are adsorbed on the surface of every solid substance to some extent.

Thus, we can conclude that on increasing temperature at which adsorption is carried out decreases the extent of physisorption.
