How are the steps you went through when discovering a new species similar to the steps of the scientific method? Were any steps skipped?

Most steps were skipped they couldn't predict what it would be they couldn't really observe I font think they used very many.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
