What are the two names used in binomial nomenclature?
Oh, dude, it's like the scientific version of a first and last name - it's the genus and species names. So, for humans, it's Homo sapiens. You know, just in case you want to get all fancy and scientific at your next dinner party.
When was pascals triangle invented?
Pascal's triangle is the geometric arrangement of binominal coefficients in a triangle. The earliest depiction of such a triangle occured in the 10th century in the Chandas Shastra, an ancient Indian commentary written by Pingala, sometime between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC.In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of the binomial coefficients. It is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal in much of the Western world, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India, Iran, China, Germany, and Italy.
How do you determine if a metal needs a roman numeral or the ending ic or ous when you name an ionic compound?
The preferred nomenclature is ALWAYS the Roman numeral form, since it's clear and unambiguous even if the reader does not know the common oxidation states of that metal. For example: to be able to write the formula for "cuprous sulfate" you need to know that copper's common oxidation states are +1 and +2, but it's immediately obvious that copper (I) sulfate should be written Cu2SO4.
What are the names of three temperature scales?
Three scales commonly used for temperature are the Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales.Fahrenheit scale - named for Daniel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who identified a zero point for freezing brine, for water's melting point, and for human body temperature (working with a similar scale by Ole Rømer (1644-1710).Celsius scale (centigrade) - named for Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who created a scaled thermometer later improved by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778).Kelvin scale - named for British physicist William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin (1824-1907), who pioneered the concept of "absolute zero". Temperatures are written without degree marks (e.g. 50 kelvins, 50 K)On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. On the Celsius scale (centigrade), water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The Kelvin scale uses the same scale as Celsius degrees, but is offset to begin at "absolute zero" (-273.15°C), i.e. water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.The rarely-used Rankine scale is also based at Absolute Zero, but uses Fahrenheit degree intervals.
