The table describes how some substances were formed.

p - formed by boiling water
q - formed by combining three hydrogen atoms to every nitrogen atom
r - formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 l of water
s - formed by compressing carbon under high pressure

based on the given descriptions, which substance is most likely a mixture?

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
