Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful

Chemistry
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]2 years ago
6 0

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

Choice B I think, because if the temperature decreases the particles move slower due to less kinetic energy, and thus won't collide as frequently.

What is the pressure of 4 moles of helium in a 50 L tank at 308k using PV=nRT
Ilya [14]

Hey there!:

p = ??

n = 4 moles

V = 50 L

T = 308 K

R =  0.082 atm

p*V = n * R * T

p * 50 = 4 * 0.082 * 308

p*50 = 101.024

p = 101.024 / 50

p = 2.020 atm


Hope that helps!

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group one:

The elements of group one shows +1 charge because these all are metals and lose their one valance electron.

Hydrogen lithium sodium potassium rubidium cesium francium

Group 2:

The elements of group two shows +2 charge because these all alkali metals and lose their two valance electrons.

beryllium magnesium calcium strontium barium radium

Group 3:

The elements of group three-B shoes +3 charge by losing three valance electrons.

Scandium yttrium lanthanum actinium

Group 4:

The elements of group 4th A and 4th B lose four electrons or gain four electrons to complete the octet and shows +4 or -4 charge.

Group 5:

Group 5th elements gain three electrons and shows -3 charge to complete the 8 electrons. (octet).

It involve the elements of group 5th A.

Group 6:

The elements of group 6A gain two electrons to complete the octet and shows -2 charge.

Group 7:

The elements of group 7A gain one electron to complete the octet and shows -1 charge.

Group 8:

The elements of group 8A are noble gases and have complete octet. That's why shows 0 charge.
