Which is characteristic of reliable experimental results?
o
a. the data were collected from an experiment that was designed to
prove one scientist's hypothesis.
o
b. the data were reproduced by other scientists using the same
experimental methods.
o
c. the data were produced by a single experiment, so the scientist
only had to follow the scientific method once.
o
d. the data support a conclusion that the scientist reached using
logic and critical thinking.

B. The data were reproduced by other scientists using the same experimental methods.  

Explanation:

One of the features of reliable experimental results is their reproducibility — other scientists must be able to produce them.  

A. is wrong. An experiment that is designed to prove a hypothesis is biased.

C. is wrong. A conclusion based on a single experiment is suggestive but not conclusive. It takes a number of experiments to provide a strong statistical relation between the variables.

D. is wrong.  The data may support a conclusion that the they reached using logic and critical thinking, but there may still be a flaw in the thinking, which other scientists can point out.  

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
