On the seashore pebbles that are rough and uneven become smooth and rounded explain how they become smooth and rounded

The subshell letter:a) specifies the 3-D shape of the orbital.b) specifies the principal shell of the orbital.c) specifies the p

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a) specifies the 3-D shape of the orbital

Explanation:

To determine the region where is more probable to find the electron, it is characterized by four quantum numbers:

- Principal quantum number (n): represents the level, or shell, where the electron is. It varies from 1 to 7, and are represented by the letters K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q.

-Azimuthal quantum number (l): represents the sublevel, or subshell. Is represented by the letters s, p, d, f, g, ... And by the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... Each one has a 3-D shape, the s, for example, has a spherical shape.

-Magnetic quantum number (ml): represents the orbital inside the subshell, and varies from -l to +l, passing by the 0. Each orbital can have at least 2 electrons.

-Spin quantum number (ms): represents the spin of the electron, which can be +1/2 or -1/2.

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:

Burka [1]

Answer:

a0 = 2

a1= 9

a2= 6

a3= 8

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

C3H7OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O

To balance the chemical equation we introduce coefficients;

Therefore the balanced chemical equation will be;

2C3H7OH + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 8H2O

Chemical equations are balanced to ensure the law of conservation of mass is obeyed, such that the mass of the reactants is equivalent to that of the products.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick

White raven [17]

<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>
