You use inductive reasoning to propose a process that explains observed facts. You use deductive reasoning to propose what facts you would observe if a known process took place.
Deductive reasoning, or deduction is a type of reasoning used in scientific method. It starts out with a general statement (called hypothesis is scientific method), and examines the possibilities to reach a logical conclusion about it. If the theory is correct, what observations should be. Inductive reasoning is the opposite. It is a type of reasoning when you start from specific observations to the general statement.
The correct option is B.
The blood brain barrier is designed to prevent the passage of some substances such as drugs from the blood stream into the brain. The blood brain barrier is made up of high density cell barriers which restrict passage of substances into the brain area.
Answer:
Oxygen
Explanation:
The electrons present in an atom are arranged in shells or orbitals. The electrons are filled into these shells based on their energy levels with those shells closest to the nucleus filled first as they have the lowest energies.
The arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom is known as electronic configuration. The outermost electron shell of an atom is known as a valence shell shell and the electrons found in this shell are known as valence electrons. The electrons usually exist in pairs. The first shell can only contain two electrons; the second shell can contain 8. the electrons are singly filled first before pairing occurs.
The electronic configuration of the atoms of the elements in the option are as follows:
Helium : 1s² ; valence electrons are 2 which are both paired
Hydrogen: 1s¹ ; valence electron is 1
Oxygen : 1s²2s²2p⁴ ; valence electrons are 6 wit two unpaired electrons
Lithium : 1s²2s¹ ; valence electron is 1
Helium has two valence electrons but they are paired as its 1s shell can only contain a maximum of two electrons.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Two of these electrons are paired <em>while the other two are unpaired.</em>
