(a) Chromatography

(b) DNA fingerprinting

(c) Origin

(d) Sweet C consists of more colours than sweet D.

  ii. The speed of colours in sweet C are proportional to one another, while that of colours in D is not.

Explanation:

Chromatography is one of the physical method of separating mixtures. This process composed of the ability of the constituents in a mixture to separate by virtue of rate of movement through a medium, thus separates into constituents.

It can be used to determine the soluble constituents of a given mixture. And for purification purpose.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
