J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.
Answer:
Linear molecule is a molecule in which atoms are deployed in a straight line (under 180° angle). Molecules with an linear electron pair geometries have sp hybridization at the central atom. An example of linear electron pair and molecular geometry are carbon dioxide (O=C=O) and beryllium hydride BeH2.

b. 11.7%
c. 73.3%
d. 0.995%
e. 55.5%
Explanation:
An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).
The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:
*100%
Where
is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:
a.
= 1.5
= 3.5
*100%
%IC = 63.2%
b.
= 1.6
= 2.1
*100%
%IC = 11.7%
c.
= 0.7
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 73.3%
d.
= 1.7
= 1.9
*100%
%IC = 0.995 %
e.
= 1.2
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 55.5%
