In a laboratory experiment, the density of a concentrated sugar solution was determined by measuring the volume of the solution and corresponding mass. three students each made a set of measurements using a different balance and used the results to calculate density. their results are summarized here. density (g/ml) trial set 1 set 2 set 3 a 1.380 1.347 1.418 b 1.400 1.479 1.499 c 1.374 1.401 1.301 part a the accepted density of the sugar solution is 1.386 . based on the average value of each data set, rank the data sets in decreasing order of accuracy. rank from most to least accurate. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them. error= (average measurement) - (accepted value) part b rank the data sets in decreasing order of precision. rank from most to least precise. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them. deviation= (individual measurement)- (average measurement) < -- (absolute value sign)

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.

the answer is minerals.

the answer is option a.
