Subscripts are the identity of the element (the number of atoms) whereas coefficients are the number of molecules of the element.

If you change the subscript, you change the number of atoms an element has. This changes the entire element since each element in the periodic table have different atomic numbers.

Are alcohols with more than one hydroxyl group attached to a carbon sequence.
Darya [45]

Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.

Which of the following statements is generally TRUE?
Vesnalui [34]

The correct answer is option d, that is, the solubility of a solid is highly dependent on temperature.  

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a component, which will get dissolved in a given concentration of solvent at a particular temperature. The temperature influences the solubility of both gases and solids. The temperature has a direct influence on solubility.  

For most of the ionic solids, enhancing the temperature elevates how briskly the solution can be formed. With the increase in temperature, the movement of the solid particles takes place briskly that enhances the chances that they will associate with the majority of the solvent particles. This leads to enhancing the rate at which the solution takes place.
