What is the purpose of thin layer chromatography? TLC is a chromatography technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures. Thin-layer chromatography can be used to monitor the progress of a reaction, identify compounds present in a given mixture, and determine the purity of a substance. What are the two major uses of thin layer chromatography? The […]

Are sharks considered dinosaurs? Sharks. Today’s sharks are descended from relatives that swam alongside dinosaurs in prehistoric times. In fact, the largest predator of all time was a shark called a Megalodon. It lived just after the dinosaurs, 23 million years ago, and only went extinct 2.6 million years ago. What is the most prehistoric […]

Why do narcissists avoid answering questions with straight answers? Narcissists don’t answer questions because they like it when you are confused and uncertain. So rather than give you any sort of clarity, they either don’t answer at all, or they only offer very vague answers. Or, in some cases, they’ll say something that is completely […]

What is the SI unit of current? ampere How do you measure current in a DC circuit? It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the […]

How is density directly proportional to volume? Density and Volume are inversely proportional to each other. Mass and volume are not the same. When density increases, volume decreases. When volume increases, density decreases. What do density mass and volume have in common? An object’s density is the ratio of mass to volume of an object. […]

What directly causes action potential? An action potential is caused by either threshold or suprathreshold stimuli upon a neuron. It consists of four phases; hypopolarization, depolarization, overshoot, and repolarization. An action potential propagates along the cell membrane of an axon until it reaches the terminal button. Which part of motor neuron has lowest threshold? axon […]

What is the ideal problem solving method? IDEAL model consisting of five indictors including (1) Identify the problem: trying to identify problems and make them an opportunity to do something creative, (2) Define goals: set goals in a problem, (3) Explore solution: explore alternative approaches to solving problems, (4) Act on the strategy: anticipate results […]

Does Liquids have a fixed volume? Liquids have a fixed volume but no fixed shape. Gases have no fixed volume and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space. Do liquids have no fixed volume? Liquids, because they flow, can occupy whatever shape […]

What does it mean when a force is balanced? Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force. What is […]

Is n3 Isoelectronic? Atoms and ions that have the same electron configuration are said to be isoelectronic. Examples of isoelectronic species are N3–, O2–, F–, Ne, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ (1s22s22p6). Is Ca2+ Isoelectronic with AR? For atoms/ions: For example, the K+ ion is isoelectronic with argon. Therefore, K+ and Ar are said to be […]
