Why are ethics important when considering experiments?
o
a. it is important that people are not harmed for the sake of science.
o
b. scientists would not be able to get funding if their experiments
were not ethical.
o
c. a general sense of ethics ensures that everyone is aware of what's
right and what's wrong.
d. the scientific results would not be believable if they were obtained
unethically.

C is the correct answer

Ethics in science are more complex than most people would think. Scientists must consider many ethical issues, including honesty, transparency, objectivity, safety and harms, and how research impacts the world. It's a lot to think about, but ethics are an important consideration for any research scientist.

explanation:

the largest database of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. the number of potential organic compounds has been estimated at 1060—an astronomically high number. the existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities. the simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. in addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. we use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. the familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. we can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. this leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals.
