How and why theories change and how this contributes to continues and ongoing nature of science

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
8 0
There is usually some anomalous observation that doesn't seem to fit with our current understanding. Scientists assume that by working at such anomalies, they'll either disentangle them to see how they fit with the current theory or contribute to a new theory. And eventually that does happen: a new or modified theory is proposed that explains everything that the old theory explained plus other observations that didn't quite fit with the old theory. When that new or modified theory is proposed to the scientific community, over a period of time (it might take years), scientists come to understand the new theory, see why it is a superior explanation to the old theory, and eventually, accept the new theory. Theory change is a community process of feedback, experiment, observation, and communication. It usually involves interpreting existing data in new ways and incorporating those views with new results. It may depend on a single definitive experiment or observation to change people's views, or it may involve many separate studies, eventually tipping the balance of evidence in favor of the new theory.

\boxed{\sf Mass\:no=No\:of\:protons+No\:of\:neutrons}

For X:-

  • No of protons:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 19-10=9protons

  • It is Fluorine.

For Y:-

  • No of protons:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 16-8=8protons

  • It is Oxygen.

If the concentration of phosphate in the cytosol is 2.0 mM and the concentration of phosphate in the surrounding fluid is 0.1 mM
Allushta [10]
<span>The correct option is C. The concentration of phosphate inside the cytosol is already greater than the concentration of phosphate in the surrounding fluid, yet, the cell still want to move more phosphate into the cell. To do this, energy is needed to move the phosphate ions against the concentration gradient, so the type of transportation requires is ACTIVE TRANSPORT.</span><span />

Below is the Lewis structure of the hydrogen cyanide molecule.
lianna [129]

Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, HCN

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HCN = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0
