What describes Rutherford’s model of the atom?

1 answer:

8 0

Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. ... It was after this that Rutherford began developing his model of the atom.

Which of the following is an example of a physical change? A) grinding coffee beans B) baking a cake C) converting water to hydr

lara [203]

Answer: A) grinding coffee beans

Explanation:

A physical change is defined as a change in which there is alteration in shape, size etc. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

A chemical change is defined as a change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

1. Grinding coffee : Only change in size takes place, thus a physical change

2. Baking a cake: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of flour with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

3.:converting water to hydrogen and oxygen: The decomposition iof water takes place, thus is a chemical change

4.Burning of coal: the chemical reaction occurs by combination of carbon with oxygen , thus a chemical change.

Write a scientific explanation that explains how modern whales differ from their ancient ancestors THIS IS A CER so can i get a

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Modern whales evolved by natural selection over long time periods through descent from common ancestors

Explanation:

According to the evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin, natural selection is a biological process by which organisms adapt and change in response to their environment. In this case, ancient whales that were better suited to environmental conditions survived and produced more offspring than non-adapted individuals. In consequence, predominant adaptive traits observed in modern whales were favored by natural selection in the past, while unsuccessful phenotypes progressively disappeared.

Extend the aufbau sequence through an element that has not yet been identified, but whose atoms would completely fill 7p orbital

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Number of electrons = 118

Electronic configuration: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

Explanation:

Given: A chemical element that has completely filled 7p orbital.

According to this, the principal occupied electron shell or the valence shell of such an element is 7p.

⇒ the principal quantum number (n) for the valence shell is 7.

∴ this element belongs to the period 7 of the periodic table.

Also, an element that has completely filled p-orbital belongs to the group 18 of the p-block.

Therefore, an element that belongs to the group 7 and period 18 of the periodic table, should have a completely filled 5f, 6d, 7s and 7p orbitals.

Therefore, the electronic configuration should be: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶

And, the number of electrons = atomic number of radon (Rn) + 14 + 10 + 2 + 6 = 86 + 32 = 118.

Therefore, the given element has atomic number 118 and has the electronic configuration: [Rn] 5f¹⁴ 6d¹⁰ 7s² 7p⁶. Thus the given element can be Oganesson.
