Describe the specific steps a scientist would take to solve a particular problem

Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill an adult a few hours after ingestion. sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. this recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry? applied biochemistry pure organic chemistry pure physical chemistry applied inorganic chemistry

Ahypothrticalax type of ceramic material is known to have a density of 2.10 g/cm3 and a unit cell of cubic symmetry with a cell edge length of 0.57 nm. the atomic weights of the a and x elements are 28.5and 30.0 g/mol, respectively. on the basis of this information, which of the following crystal structures is (are) possible for this material: sodium chloride, cesium chloride, or zinc blende
