Which best describes the importance of the microscope to the development of cell theory? Microscopes color different parts of cells so they can be seen with the naked eye. Cells are too small to see with the naked eye, and a microscope magnifies them. The lenses in a microscope reduce the image of an organism to the size of a cell. Microscopes trap “animalcules” from pond water so they can be studied.

If you need to add 27.50ml of a solution, which piece of glassware would you use to deliver this volume and explain how you would determine if the 27.50 ml was measured?

Which part of the mantle is similar to the crust ? (science earth's layers)

Challenge question: this question is worth 6 points. as you saw in problem 9 we can have species bound to a central metal ion. these species are called ligands. in the past we have assumed all the d orbitals in some species are degenerate; however, they often are not. sometimes the ligands bound to a central metal cation can split the d orbitals. that is, some of the d orbitals will be at a lower energy state than others. ligands that have the ability to cause this splitting are called strong field ligands, cnâ’ is an example of these. if this splitting in the d orbitals is great enough electrons will fill low lying orbitals, pairing with other electrons in a given orbital, before filling higher energy orbitals. in question 7 we had fe2+, furthermore we found that there were a certain number (non-zero) of unpaired electrons. consider now fe(cn)6 4â’: here we also have fe2+, but in this case all the electrons are paired, yielding a diamagnetic species. how can you explain this?
