Observation, in which the scientist observes what is happening, collects information, and studies facts relevant to the problem. In this stage, statistics suggests what can most advantageously be observed and how data might be collected.
Hypothesis, in which the scientist puts forth educated hunches or explanations for observed findings and facts. In this stage, the statistician helps format observations in a form that is comprehensible and understandable.
Prediction, in which the anticipatory deductions based on hypotheses are put forward in testable ways. Statistics can help only a little at this stage of analysis, for predictive insights are often intuitive and creative rather than numerical.
Verification, in which data are collected to test predictions. In judging the extent to which predictions are borne out by observation, we recognize that data and predictions almost never agree exactly, even when theories are correct.
Answer : The correct answer is 2.36 mol of gold
1 mole of any element have 6.022 x 10²³ number of atoms ( Avogadro's number).
So the formula relating mole and number of atoms is given as :
Plugging value in formula :
Mole of gold = 2.36 mol
It has a trigonal planar structure. So, the calculated angle is 127.3 degrees.
You can see the structure in the picture.
A bond formed between a silicon atom and an oxygen atom is likely to be polar covalent.
