A. Moral and ethical beliefs

B. Popular support

C. Compelling evidence

D. Historical support

The answer is C. Compelling evidence

Explanation:

Scientific investigations are used to proffer solutions to problems or answer a question. However, before these scientific ideas can be accepted or rejected, it must be subject to falsifiable testing via experiment.

A hypothetical statement is given to explain a scientific observation, which is subjected to further testing via experimentation. The outcome of the experiment provides a COMPELLING EVIDENCE on which the acceptance or rejection of a scientific idea is based.

Darya [45]

Answer: False

Explanation: There are four carbon atoms , eight hydrogen atoms and two Bromine atoms.

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.
