\sf\large \blue{\underbrace{\red{Answer⋆}}}:

The nucleus of an atom of the element is positively charged and atom has a hollow space inside it.

Explanation:

This experiment was conducted by Rutherford in this experiment. He placed a gold foil and surround it with a screen.

And He exposed gold foil in alpha particles rays in which he noticed that most rays passed through atom which conclude that atom has a large space, some rays get deflected and some reverse their path this show that the positive charge of nucleus of an atom.

Which statement best describes why specific heat capacity is often more useful than heat capacity for scientists when comparing
Misha Larkins [42]

The correct option is this: SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY IS AN INTENSIVE PROPERTY AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON SAMPLE SIZE.

Generally, all the properties of matters can be divided into two classes, these are intensive and extensive properties. Intensive properties are those properties that are not determined by the quantity of the material that is present or available. Examples of intensive properties are colour, density and specific heat capacity. For instance, whether you have a bucket of water or a cup of water, the quantity does not matter, the colour of water will always remain the same. Extensive properties in contrast, are those properties that depend on the quantity of material that is available. Examples are mass, heat capacity and volume.

Can you explain what makes Earth habitable using science vocabulary words system & planetary geologist
finlep [7]
Earth is the right distance from the sun. It’s protected from harmful solar radiation by its magnetic field and the atmosphere keeps it warm. Earth contains the right chemical ingredients to sustain life such as H2O (water) and C (carbon)

An atom holds 7 electrons. use orbital notation to model the probable location of its electrons.
zheka24 [161]

Answers:

(a) 1s² 2s²2p³; (b) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²; (c) 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this problem is to add electrons to the orbitals one-by-one until you have added the required amount.

Fill the subshells in the order listed in the diagram below. Remember that an s subshell can hold two electrons, while a p subshell can hold six, and a d subshell can hold  ten.

(a) <em>Seven electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p³

There are two electrons in the 2s subshell and three in the 2p subshell. The remaining two electrons are in the inner 1s subshell.

(b) <em>22 electrons </em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d²

There are two electrons in the 4s subshell and two in the 2p subshell. The remaining 18 electrons are in the inner subshells.

(c) <em>17 electrons</em>

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

There are two electrons in the 3s subshell and five in the 2p subshell. The remaining 10 electrons are in the inner subshells.

The temperature of a 95.4 g piece of Cu increases from 25.0 °C to 48.0 °C when the Cu absorbs 849 J of heat. What is the specifc
melisa1 [442]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.387 J/g°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • To calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance we need to know its mass, change in temperature and its specific heat capacity.
  • Then to get quantity of heat absorbed or lost we multiply mass by specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
  • That is, Q = mcΔT

in our question we are given;

Mass of copper, m as 95.4 g

Initial temperature = 25 °C

Final temperature = 48 °C

Thus, change in temperature, ΔT = 23°C

Quantity of heat absorbed, Q as 849 J

We are required to calculate the specific heat capacity of copper

Rearranging the formula we get

c = Q ÷ mΔT

Therefore,

Specific heat capacity, c = 849 J ÷ (95.4 g × 23°C)

                                        = 0.3869 J/g°C

                                        = 0.387 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 J/g°C
