Answer: Scientific Methods
Explanation:
Scientific Methods means arriving at a valid conclusion based on overwhelming scientific evidences obtained through experiments. Science is empirical in its approach to seeking knowledge. Science encourages empiricism by its heavy reliance on experimental results in the construction of its arguments and arriving at its conclusions.
Answer:
Magnetic property
Explanation:
Iron filling is a magnetic compound, unlike the salt crystals. This means they are attracted by magnets.
To separate a mixture of iron filling s and salt crystals, a magnet should be used to remove the iron fillings from the mixture.
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
