Why do scientists have to make an experiment

Pauling and lewis questioned the extreme definitions of bonds. they wondered if bonds might be described somewhere in between the two extremes (covalent and ionic). on the basis of experimental data, pauling confirmed that bonds could be ionic, covalent, and for those, in between, exhibit a degree of ionic character. he theorized that the major factor was how strongly the atoms in the bond attracted the electrons. pauling called this factor - the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a bond.

How many grams of co(g) are there in 74.5 ml of the gas at 0.933 atm and 30o c?

What are the first two quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 4d? what are the first three quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 2s? how many electrons can be held in a sublevel l = 3? how many electrons can be held in the energy level n = 4? how many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n = 4 and l = 3?
