John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.

<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>

There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.

According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.

Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms.  Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.

However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.

Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.

How do muscles work in pairs to make parts of the body move?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Muscles work in pairs to move a bone.

Skeletal muscles only PULL in one direction. For this reason they always come in pairs. When one muscle in a pair contracts, to bend a joint for example, its counterpart then contracts and pulls in the opposite direction to straighten the joint out again.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
