The Curiosity rover found sulfur compounds in rocks and carbon in organic compounds like propane, butene, benzene, toluene and thiophene.
It detected methane, not in soil samples, but in the Martian atmosphere.
It did not discover helium in underground pockets. The hole it can drill is only 5 cm deep.
Answer:
Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase.
Democritus, a Greek philosopher, first developed the idea of atoms (around 460 B.C., I believe).

Answer:
CH₂
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Percentage composition:
Carbon = 40.1%
Hydrogen = 6.6%
Unknown:
Empirical formula of the compound = ?
Solution:
The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.
Elements Carbon Hydrogen
Percentage
Composition 40.1 6.6
Molecular mass 12 1
Number of moles 40.1/12 6.6/1
3.342 6.6
Divide through by
the smallest 3.342/3.342 6.6/3.342
1 2
So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂
