A molecule is defined as two or more atoms of the same element different element that are bound together.

Anika [276]

Answer:

No

An acid - base reaction involves an acid and base to produce salt and water.

  • This reaction is called a neutralization reaction.
  • An acid is a substance that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solutions.
  • A base produces excess hydroxyl ions in solution.
  • When acids and base combines, the main product is a salt in water solution.

How does the surface metabolism model of chemical evolution differ from the prebiotic soup model? see section 2.4 ( page 70) ?
evablogger [386]

The surface metabolism model evokes mineral catalysts. Surface metabolism model dissolved gases in contact with minerals lining the walls of the deep-sea hydrothermal vents and formed more complex, organic molecules while Prebiotic soup model is molecules in atmosphere or from meteorites condensed in the ocean which led to the formation of more complex molecules.

Explain the significance of this quote, “Heisenberg may have slept here.”
ch4aika [34]

Umm...Well...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that we can never know both the position and rate of change of a particle at any time. We can only know one or the other. This leads to rather silly jokes that deal with uncertainty, probability, and superposition. So, saying that "Heisenberg may have slept here" is essentially saying that it is uncertain if Heisenberg slept there or not, making for a rather silly, but slightly unfunny physics joke.
