Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. ... Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold

the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.
