The correct answer is option C, that is, hypothesis.
The hypothesis is the starting building block in the scientific method. It is also illustrated as an educated guess, based on previous observation and knowledge. A hypothesis refers to a recommended solution for an unexplained event, which does not fit into the present accepted scientific theory.
The fundamental concept of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined result. For a hypothesis to be considered as scientific hypothesis, it has to be something, which can be refuted or supported via carefully crafted observation or experimentation.
Ionic compound consists of a positively charged ion and a negatively charged anion. For example, NaCl. Na (sodium) is a cation (another word for positively charged ion) and Cl (chloride) is a anion (another way for negatively charged ion.)
Molecular compounds consists of only negatively charged ions. For example Br2I is a compound of 2 elements that are negatively charged.
Unlike ionic compounds, molecular compounds consists of two or more negatively charged elements.
Oil molecules like to stick to other oil molecules more than they like to stick to water molecules. This is because mineral oil has nonpolar molecules and water has polar ones.
<span>12810 atomic mass units
Since a monomer is the basic building block of a polymer, we just need to multiply the mass of the monomers by the number of monomers used. So
105 atomic mass units * 122 = 12810 atomic mass units</span>
