The answer would be C. In fact, letter A already defines the Law of Definite Proportions. On the other hand, J.J. Thomson was responsible for the discovery of electrons through cathode ray tube experiments. The rest of the choices are true.

Answer is: C. Thomson and the law of definite proportions.

1) J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

2) Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

3) Proust's law or law of constant composition said that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio and does not depend on method of preparation.

4) Dalton's atomic theory:

a) All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms.  

b) Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass, but differ from the atoms of other elements.  

c) Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.  

d) The ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.  

e) Atoms of same element can combine in more than one ratio to form two or more compounds.  

f) The atom is the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction.

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

Can someone please definition of atomic radius using , nucleus, valence electrons and energy.❤️
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

-The Atomic Radius of an element is the distance between the center of an atom

-nucleus and its outermost, or valence electrons. ... These changes are caused by the interaction between the positive charge of the protons

- nucleus and the negative charge of all the atom's electrons.

Which of the following statements about the kinetic molecular theory are not correct?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The false statement is: (C) The average kinetic energy of the molecules is not related to the absolute temperature

Explanation:

According to the Kinetic Theory of Gases, gases are composed of <u>small fast moving particles that are in constant random motion</u>. These gaseous particles are known as molecules.

It is assumed that the mass of all the gaseous molecules is the same and the <u><em>intermolecular interactions (attractive or repulsive) are negligible</em></u>.

Also, the <em><u>total volume of all the gaseous molecules is considered to be negligible as compared to the volume of the container.</u></em>

According to this theory, <em><u>average kinetic energy (K) of the gaseous particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T) of the gas, </u></em>by the equation:

K = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

<em>Here, </em>k_{b}<em> is the Boltzmann constant</em>

<u>Therefore, the false statement about the kinetic molecular theory is (C)</u>
