Answer:
D. a scientific explanation that is agreed on by all scientists and is no longer adjusted as new evidence is found
Explanation:
Scientific theory is an explanation that has been repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results
Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:

And:

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
