Fill in the blank with the correctly spelt word.
The scientist used _______ techniques to analyze the molecular structure.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer: spectroscopy
Explanation
• The correctly spelt word is spectroscopy, which refers to the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation.
• A frequent spelling error involves replacing the middle 'o' with 'a' (as in spectrascopy) or using an 'a' before 'py' (as in spectroscapy).
• Remember the root breakdown: spectro- (relating to a spectrum) + -scopy (observation or examination).
