Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
Well, if a molecule is considered to be a discrete small unit made up of atoms joined together, then NaCl, and any other ionic solid is not really a molecule. In NaCl we have a repetitive crystal structure in which each Na+ ion is surrounded by Cl- ions, and vice-versa, for as far as the crystal extends. There really isn't such a thing as an NaCl molecule.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable). If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest.

A geologist studies layered rock to determine its age. Bacteria fossils from the Precambrian age are found in the rock’s upper l
kondor19780726 [428]
Answer:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred.

Explanation:
The bottom layers of the rock could have formed before life occurred because there is no fossil is present. If there is life at that time so the fossils are present at the bottom layer so the absence indicates that is no life present at that time. The bottom layer is older than the upper layer so that's why fossils of bacteria are found in the upper layer of the rock.

Answer:
C. Because bacterial fossils are found only in the upper layers, scientists can conclude that these bacteria evolved towards the end of Precambrian time.

There’s two different types of answers for this question so I just put both of them. Hope it helps : )
