Scientists use radioactive decay to date fossils and artifacts through a process called "carbon dating," which measures the amount of carbon still left in a dead object. The less carbon that exists, the longer that animal or plant as been dead.

When diagramming an atom, the electron shells ____________ the nucleus must be filled first?
Nonamiya [84]

Concept: According to the basic concept of the electronic configuration of the element, the electron can be filled first in those shell which has least energy or (n +l) value. Here, n is the principal quantum number on shell and l is the azimuthal quantum number.

Since, the first shell has least value of energy in any atom. So, it should be filled first.

Hence, the correct statement can be written as;

When diagramming an atom, the electron shells _nearest to _ the nucleus must be filled first.

Using the equation, C5H12 + 8O2 Imported Asset 5CO2 + 6H2O, if 2 moles of pentane (C5H12) were supplied, and an unlimited amount
Kamila [148]

12 moles of water H₂O are produced from the combustion of pentane.

Explanation:

We have the following combustion of pentane (C₅H₁₂):

C₅H₁₂ + 8 O₂ → 5 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

Knowing the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         1 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces 6 moles of water H₂O

then    2 moles of pentane C₅H₁₂ produces X moles of water H₂O

X = (2 × 6) / 1 = 12 moles of water H₂O

Answer:

B) Observations and experimentation

Explanation:

this is the most suitable words to describe how is Science used in describing the world. we collect the  knowledge in organized way and provide it with explanations and start to predict about the future world

ِAny Inventions are based on Science and no Inventions without Observations and experimentation

No one of us have went to a chemistry or a physics labs without using Observations and experimentation
