Answer 3

I have a Ph.D. in chemistry. That Dr in front of Bob222 is real. Why would I answer a question in which I wasn't sure of the answer (but yes, I sometimes makae mistakes)? You are answer shopping. What you are doing is taking a vote on which is the best answer? Basically you are wasting your time and ours. What you should do is look up these answers in your text/notes or look on the web. You can do that yourself and take the best of the lot. You can't believe everything you read on the web but if you go to reliable sites such as Wikipedia and others, the answers can be trusted.
