Answer:

The atomic theory states that atoms are indivisible. It was true when the theory was postulated but research has shown that atom consists of sub - atomic particles like electrons, protons and neutrons.

However an atom is the smallest particle that takes part in chemical reactions.

Answer:

1.) The result is a red solution and a blue-green precipitate.

2.) The reaction results in a precipitate of a basic salt, which can co-precipitate with other metal ions that form hydroxide precipitates, causing complications when trying to separate metal ions.

The empirical formula of a compound is determined to be CH2O, and its molecular mass is found to be 90.087 g/mol. Determine the
IrinaVladis [17]
To find the molecular formula of the compound, we get the molar mass of empirical formula CH2o which is 30 g/mol. We divided  the molecular mass of 90.087 g/mol by 30, we get 3. Hence, we multiply each element by 3, getting the molecular formula of C3H6O3.

The color that is bent the least by a prism is _____. violet blue yellow red
RUDIKE [14]
The correct answer is the last option among the choices given. The color that is bent the least by a prism is red. A white light is a collection of different colors where each color is associated with different wavelength and frequency. When this light is refracted through a lens or prism it splits into separate colors where red is the least bent by a prism.

Explain the four basic types of chemical reactions. Be sure to include a sample equation for each type. Describe how rate relati
Maurinko [17]
Synthesis, decomposition, single replacement and double replacement.

Synthesis- two or more reactants unite to form a single product

S (Sulfur) + O2 (Oxygen) ——> SO2 (Sulphur dioxide)

Decomposition- A single reactant is decomposed or broken down into two or more

CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate) ——> CaO (Calcium oxide) + CO2 (Carbon dioxide)

Single replacement- A single free element replaces or is substituted for one of the elements in a compound. The free element is more reactive than the one its replaces.

Zn (Zinc) + 2 HCI (hydrochloric acid) ——> H2 (hydrogen) + ZnCl2 (Zinc Chloride)

Double replacement- This reaction type can be viewed as an "exchange of partners." For ionic compounds, the positive ion in the first compound combines with the negative ion in the second compound, and the positive ion in the second compound combines with the negative ion in the first compound.

HCI (hydrochloric acid) + NaOH (sodium hydroxide) ——> NaCl (Sodium Chloride) + HOH (water)


Once reactants have absorbed enough heat energy from their surroundings to reach the transition state, the reaction will proceed. The activation energy of a particular reaction determines the rate at which it will proceed. The higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be.
