the correct scientist is rutherford
Scientists use atomic mass units (amu) to measure atoms
Answer:
A water molecule can react with the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or a ketone to form a substance known as a carbonyl hydrate, as shown in the first reaction below. The carbonyl hydrates usually form a very small percentage of the molecules in a sample of a specific aldehyde or ketone.

Answer:
Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons.
Explanation:
Ionic bonds tend to transfer electrons completely. Take NaCl for example.
Cl has 7 valence electrons.
Na has 1 valence electron.
To stabilize themselves, either with a full 8 shells or full outer shell, Cl wants 1 electron and Na wants to lose 1 electron. So when NaCl forms, Na donates its electron to Cl.
In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared. Water can be used as an example. The electrons in water usually are around the oxygen, but sometimes it is around the hydrogens.
Answer : The main function of the control rods in a nuclear power plant is to absorb the unwanted extra neutrons emitted after the nuclear fission reaction, as to slow down or completely shut down the reaction in case of certain emergencies.
The main idea is to prevent uncontrolled chain reactions which occurs in nuclear fission reactors. The important characteristic of a control rod should be made of a material which does not undergoes fission.
