2.- What chemical element was officially first discovered? - Hydrogen

Nah, that wasn't until 1776. Try any of the metals. Copper and the likes vaguely come first in ancient times. As for the first one discovered in a more specific date, Bismuth around 1400.

2. uhhh, "officially" you mean?

Meaning with a set date. Hydrogen comes rather late. Most common metals go way back without a date so the first, being the strictest possible, is Phosphorus in 1669.


1.- Highest GDP per capita in Asia? Singapore

Incorrect. Qatar

2.- 3 largest countries by landmass - Russia, Canada, China

Correct

3.- Highest peaks of every continent? - Asia - Everest, Africa - Kilimanjaro, North America - McKinley, South America - Aconcagua, Europe - Elbrus, Antarctica - Erebus, Australia - Kosciusko


Correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, Vinson Massif, correct.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Aldol Condensation, Wittig reaction, Formation of acetals......

5.- What is Operant Conditioning? - to operate according to condition

Conditioning the behavior by means of the consequences of the action performed. Sort of like Pavlovian conditioning, but here the action of the individual produces the consequence, so there is positive or negative consequence, but not positive or negative stimulus.

Correct, correct, correct, correct, correct, Vinson Massif, correct.

sorry, but i'm going to contest this sacrilege.

the Caucasus mountains are in the fucking Eurasia, on the very border between Asia and Europe.

the highest peak on the actual European continent is Mont Blanc between Italia and France.

However, because the location of the boundary between Asia and Europe is not universally agreed upon, its inclusion in Europe is disputed: if the Kuma–Manych Depression is used as the geological border between Asia and Europe, Caucasus and Elbrus lie wholly in Asia.

you can draw the boundaries a bit differently (but they are unofficial and not recognized, in fact) to artificially place the Elbrus in Europe but any mountain whose geographical location can be argued not to be in Europe, shouldn't be included under being in Europe.

this is not Europe where the Elbrus is:



ergo, Elbrus, at best, is a boundary-zone mountain (volcano), neither in Asia or Europe, lying exactly between the two. Mont Blanc's co-ordinates are undisputed and they are in Europe. thus, Mont Blanc is the highest summit of Europe.
