Answer:

In the theory of natural selection, organisms produce more offspring than are able to survive in their environment. Those that are better physically equipped to survive, grow to maturity, and reproduce. Biologists have since observed numerous examples of natural selection influencing evolution.

Answer:

Darwin and a scientific contemporary of his, Alfred Russel Wallace, proposed that evolution occurs because of a phenomenon called natural selection. In the theory of natural selection, organisms produce more offspring than are able to survive in their environment.

Good luck! :)

Who was Charles Darwin and what theory is he best known for?

Alona [7]

Answer:

Charles Darwin, in full Charles Robert Darwin, (born February 12, 1809, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England—died April 19, 1882, Downe, Kent), English naturalist whose scientific theory of evolution by natural selection became the foundation of modern evolutionary studies.

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution states that evolution happens by natural selection. Individuals in a species show variation in physical characteristics. ... As a consequence those individuals most suited to their environment survive and, given enough time, the species will gradually evolve.

5. Why are lonic compounds good conductors of electricity?

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.75 L at a temperature of 25°C and a pressure of 1.15 atm. What will the volume be at a tempera

omeli [17]

Answer: V = 5.1 L

Explanation: To find the new volume, we will use the formula of Combined Gas Law and derive V2. We also need to convert first the temperature in Kelvin and convert torr to atm ( 1 atm = 760 torrs ).

What are the names of the following three compounds (see attached)

balu736 [363]

Answer:

1. 4-ethyl-1-heptene

2. 6-ethyl-2-octene

3. 1-butyne

Explanation:

The compounds are named according to IUPAC rules.

Compound 1:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
The longest chain contains 7 carbon atoms, so taken the name hept.
The double bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix ene to hept "1-heptene".
The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 4.
So the name is 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Compound 2:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain).
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (double has the priority over alkyl substituents).
The longest chain contains 8 carbon atoms, so taken the name oct.
The double bond between C2 and C3, so take no. 2 and add the suffix ene to oct "2-octene".
The ethyl group is the alkyl substituent on position 6.

So the name is 6-ethyl-2-octene.

Compound 3:

Identify the longest carbon chain. This chain is called the parent chain.
Identify all of the substituents (groups appending from the parent chain), there is no substituents.
The parent chain is numbered so that the multiple bonds have the lowest numbers (Triple bond here take the lowest number).
The longest chain contains 4 carbon atoms, so taken the name but.
The triple bond between C1 and C2, so take no. 1 and add the suffix yne to but "1-butyne".

So the name is 1-butyne.
