How does a scientist answer a scientific question? A. By observing and measuring B. By asking others for their opinions C. By finding the answer in a book D. By guessing the right answer

The answer is A

Explanation:

Because . . .

- A is correct because scientist make their statements by using their observations and tools to measure.

- B is incorrect people's opinions are not facts! Plus, opinions can be wrong.

- C is incorrect because that book can be outdated and not every answer is in a book.

- D is absolutely incorrect because guessing a "right" answer can be wrong. For example, if you were a scientist and you guessed a treatment for coronavirus, you will defiantly get fired because you don't have evidence or logic to back up your answer. In addition, if people used ur "treatment" the one you have guessed as the "right" answer, you can put people's lives in danger and they can possibly die. You will defiantly be responsible for it and be put into jail.

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
