Answer:

A. The accepted model of the atom was changed.

Explanation:

Thomson described an atom that has the protons uniformly distributed within a circular atom with the electrons embedded . However, it cannot explain the emission of electrons from the surfaces of metals like photoelectric emission. it does not explain how the particle of the atom contribute significantly to the entire mass of an atom

Part B Identify the sets of quantum numbers that describe all the electrons in the ground state of a neutral beryllium atom, Be.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

Explanation:

There are 4 quantum numbers:

Principal Quantum number (n) specifies the energy of the electron in a shell.
Azimuthal Quantum number (l) specifies the shape of an orbital. The value of it lies in the range of 0 to (n-1)
Magnetic Quantum number (m) specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. The value of it lies in the range of -l to +l
Spin Quantum number (s) specifies the spin of an electron in an orbital. It can either have a value of $+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$

Berylium (Be) is the 4th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^2$

For electrons in 1s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:

For first electron:

$n=1\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=1\\l=0\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

For electrons in 2s-orbital, the quantum numbers can be:

For first electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=+\frac{1}{2}$

For second electron:

$n=2\\l=0\text{ (for s-subshell)}\\m=0\\s=-\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, the set of quantum numbers for the electrons in Be atom are (2, 1, -1, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, 1/2), (1, 0, 0, -1/2) and (2, 0, 0, -1/2)

In the compound cah2 calcium has an oxidation number of 2+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of

sesenic [268]

The oxidation number of H is -1.

Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element = charge of the complex

CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".

Then,

(+2) + 2 x a = 0

+2 + 2a = 0

2a = -2

a = -1

Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1

Two Balloons one filled with hydrogen gas and second filled with neon gas. what gas should be used in an experiement to identify

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

If two balloons are filled with hydrogen gas and helium gas respectively, then we want to identify what gas is in each balloon, we have to do so by exposing the both balloons to flame in an oxygen atmosphere.

Hydrogen combines with oxygen in the presence of a flame with quite a loud sound and the flame is sustained but when a flame is brought near helium gas in a balloon, the gas will only make a little sound when exposed to the flame and extinguish the flame.

The reason for the explosion of the gas in the hydrogen balloon is that combustion of hydrogen gas is exothermic. The heating up of surrounding air molecules leads to a sudden explosion.

However, the helium balloon makes a little sound when the balloon is ruptured releasing helium gas which extinguishes the flame.

HOW DO SCIENTISTS FORECAST SPACE WEATHER AND WHY

Fittoniya [83]

Much like tornado watchers look to the skies for clues that a twister is forming, NASA and university scientists are watching the Sun in an effort to better predict space weather – blasts of particles from the Sun that impact the magnetosphere, the magnetic bubble around the Earth.
