In a laboratory, Carlos places one plate with grape jelly and another plate with cooked brown rice inside an ant farm. The next day, he finds that both plates are filled with ants. Carlos wonders if there are certain household foods that are more effective than others at attracting ants. How could Carlos use the scientific inquiry process to determine which foods are most effective at attracting ants? Check all that apply.

by making quantitative observations about the number of ants found on each plate of food

by comparing a plate of cooked brown rice to another household food such as peanut butter

by designing an experiment to test different foods and the number of ants each food attracts

Explanation:

It was right on edge

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

c. electrical charges of ionic bonds.
