A scientist plans to find out the cause of decrease in bird population in a location. He interviews 50 people who work in the local oil mine and 45 of them believe that the mine does not affect the birds. The scientist concludes that 90 percent of people in the location believe that the local oil mine does not cause decrease in bird population. Why is the scientist's conclusion most likely unreliable? (2 points) Group of answer choices

a. the results of the investigation cannot be repeated

b. the source of information could be biased

c. bird population cannot be measured accurately

d. the investigation is done by only one person

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
