Demonstrate In A Brief Paragraph How The Search To Explain Planetary Orbits Exemplifies The Scientific Method

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state.
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

  • <em>A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is</em> a <u>ionic compound</u>.

  • E.g. NaCl (table salt)

Explanation:

Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.

Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.

In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to  move freely.

Hence, since in solid state,  ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, <em>in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.</em>
