A characteristic of carbon is that it is highly reactive and can form unstable bonds with any available atom.
Well there's Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Not quite sure how this would be a school question. But here it is.
Answer:
Placebo, Is used to describe a substance given in clinical trial that does not contain the drug.
Explanation:
- Clinical trials are done to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug in treating a particular medical symptom or disease.
- In such case a placebo is used as a control in the experiment.
- A placebo contains all the components as the medicine except for the drug that is being tested.
- A placebo is given to one group of patients having the symptoms for which the drug is tested while another group of patients with same symptoms are given the drug.
- If the group that was given the drug show symptoms of cure while the group that was given placebo does not show changes. Then the drug is said to be effective.
Answer:
- At equilibrium, the quantity of a commodity demanded is the same as the quantity of that commodity supplied. i.e. QD = QS. The price at which QD = QS is the equilibrium price.
- When there is a shortage, the quantity of goods demanded would be greater than quantity supplied, as the price falls below the equilibrium price. i.e. QD>QS
- When there is surplus, the quantity of goods demanded is less than the quantity supplied, as price increases above the equilibrium price. i.e. QD<QS.
For example, in the table showing the demand and supply schedule for T shirt at different prices (see file attached), the equilibrium price for a unit of T shirt is $3, at equilibrium, QD = QS (i.e. 30 = 30).
A shortage is recorded when the price of T shirt falls below equilibrium price of $3 as shortage of T shirt is recorded, i.e. @ $2, QD>QS (40>20). A shortage of 20 is recorded.
Surplus occurs as price increases above equilibrium price of which QD<QD, i.e. @ $4, a surplus of 20 is recorded.
