  • Reservation wage: the minimum wage a person is willing to accept for a job.
  • Effects of wage increase:
    • Substitution effect: work is more

Isomerism in Chemistry: Structural Types and Stereoisomers

The Concept of Isomerism

Isomerism is the phenomenon where two or more compounds have the same molecular formula, but different arrangements of their atoms. These compounds are called isomers.

Isomers can differ significantly in their physical and chemical properties, such as boiling and melting points, reactivity, and solubility. Understanding isomerism is an important concept in chemistry because it affects the properties and behavior of molecules. By understanding isomerism, chemists can predict

Popper vs. Kuhn: Philosophy of Science and Paradigm Shifts

Differences Between Verificationism and Falsificationism

The two major approaches to scientific methodology are:

  • Verificationism: An increased number of confirming cases suggests the hypothesis is true and possesses greater scientific value.
  • Falsificationism: A hypothesis is only important if it is deemed unlikely to happen and is capable of being proven false.

Critiques of Falsificationism

  1. Just as theories are falsifiable, observational facts can also be used to falsify them.

    Solution: We must distinguish

Core Database Concepts: ER Models, Normalization, and SQL

Entity Relationship Model (ERD)

  • Connectivities: Describes how entities are related (e.g., 1:1, 1:M, M:N).

    • Example: A Student (1) can enroll in many Courses (M), so the relationship is 1:M.
  • Cardinalities: Indicates the number of instances of one entity related to another.

    • Example: A Professor can teach up to 3 Courses (cardinality: 0..3).
  • Strong Relationship: A relationship between two independent, strong entities.

    • Example: Student and Course are strong entities, each with its own primary key.
  • Weak Relationship:
