Same spring, same metre rule, same starting point. An anomaly is a point that does not fit: check the instrument, do not silently rub it out. Precision vs…
Touch and turn: even multiplicity (school cubic can have a repeated factor). Cross: odd multiplicity. Sum of multiplicities = degree.
Alkane molecules are essentially non-polar. They are less dense than water and do not dissolve in it. Chemically, alkanes do not react with most…
