Thomson in 1897 was the first to suggest that one of the fundamental units was more than 1,000 times smaller than an atom, suggesting the subatomic particle now known as the electron. Thomson discovered this through his explorations on the properties of cathode rays.
Think of it this way,
Mix Iron and sulphur in a bowl. How do you separate them? Use a magnet right. Yes.
Now, mix the iron and sulphur together but know, heat them up. Let them cool for a while. After that, use a magnet to separate. You cant. This is because the compound (FeS) now has a different property from its original components.
Apply this theory onto salts.
Answer:
C6H6
Explanation:
We can obtain the molecular formula from the empirical formula.
What we need do here is:
(CH)n = 78
The n shows the multiples of both element present in the actual compound. It can be seen that carbon and hydrogen have the same element ratio here. We then use the atomic masses of both elements to get the value of n. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u while the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u
(1 + 12)n = 78
13n = 78
n = 78/13 = 6
The molecular formula is
(CH)n = (CH)6 = C6H6
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "A. The accepted model of the atom was changed.<span>" </span>J J Thomson discovered the electrons and performed experiment using the cathode ray tube
Here are the following choices:
<span>A. The accepted model of the atom was changed.
B. The accepted model of the atom was supported.
C. Cathode ray tubes were no longer used in experiments due to poor results.
D. Cathode ray tubes became the only instrument of use in the study of atoms</span>
