My colleague and I disagree on the answer to a quiz question."Identify the following element by its quantum numbers; 3, 2, -2, ->/*•" I say the numbers identify the 3rd energy level, d orbital, 8th element, which is nickel. He says that for nickel, it should be 4, 2, -2, -' A, and so it is in correctly written and can identify no element. Who is correct? Answer
Fifteen commonly available measures of achievement and intelligence are analyzed for a test group of high-ability physics students in an attempt to establish their contributions to the variance of physics scores in a college physics course. Two regression equations are given for prediction of success in physics for this group. It is concluded that: (1) success in physics for this group is not significantly correlated with measured Otis I.Q., social studies subtest of ACT, high-school grade-point average, or rank in high-school class; (2) there is no advantage or disadvantage for the test group in having taken physics in high school; (3) better evaluation practice is needed at the college-physics level in order to extend the study; (4) better evaluation instruments are needed for testing high-ability students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
