Why does it take for babies 2-3 years to speak clearly when they already have it hardwired in their brains? Because he/she has to have the perfect conditions the development of their vocal chords t finish etc.
In the field of chemistry we identified a lot of elements from a long time ago. But the atom came into existence as technology advanced. Atom was only a theoretical concept published by John Dalton but later experiments structured an atom and led to the classification of elements.

∙ 15y agoNoble gases are colorless, odorless, and tasteless. They do not normally react with
any other elements. It is very difficult to know when they are present if they don't react
or at least show up somehow.

∙ 12y agobecause are realy reactive and to actually find them you have to use electrolosis to find them in there pure form which wasnt invented 20th century.

∙ 10y agoBecause we know that when Mendeleev had created his first Periodic Table, only 63 elements were known, but today we have 116 elements.

What do you think would be the two most important tools of a scientist?
The most important tool for any scientist is curiosity and the desire to know. Without this, the scientist is a mere lab technician. The second most important tool for any scientist is patience. The media love to portray scientists being struck by inspiration and having a eureka moment, but even the most inspired scientist has spent long hours in thought and research preparing her mind for that eureka flash of insight.
Is gold a mixture or a compound?
Neither. Gold is an element. Most gold jewelry, though, is made from an alloy of gold and copper. Alloy is just another word for mixture, I guess. 24K gold is pure gold, 12K gold is half gold half copper, etc. Gold is a very soft metal, and adding copper makes is stronger.
