Science progresses through a process of asking questions about the world, forming a falsifiable hypothesis to answer the questio
n, carrying out an experiment, and using the results to accept or reject the hypothesis. This process is repeated with each result providing more information to construct our human understanding of the world. This process is known as Group of answer choices
The scientific method is an empirical method to acquire knowledge by using step by step process in which make a question about a natural world phenomenon, making a hypothesis, carrying out experiments, check result to find if the hypothesis is rejected or accepted.
This method helps in developing a logical explanation for a world problem or phenomenon. The scientific method is based on experiments and data to explain it.
<em><u>Alkanes are group of hydrocarbon that are saturated</u></em>. They are saturated in the sense that each carbon atom has maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
<em><u>The homologous series of alkanes has a general formula of CₓH₂ₓ₊₂.</u></em>
Therefore,<u><em> an alkane with 8 carbons will have; (2×8) +2 = 18 hydrogen atoms. </em></u>Thus, the formula of the hyrocarbon will be; C₈H₁₈.
