First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar
mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.
1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N
0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H
Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower
value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.
For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1
For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula is
.
Trigonal planar. Hope that helps!
If Thomson’s model of the atom were correct, Rutherford should have seen a complete reflection of those particles when fired at the foil. Those particles would have hit a solid object (Thomson model) and would have been reflected back at the emitter. However, Rutherford discovered that most of those particles passed through the sheet, either continuing straight through or having the angle change a small amount (bouncing off the nucleus). Only a small number of the particles were reflected back, having hit the nucleus straight on. This led him to believe that there was a small, dense portion of the atom that resided within a larger, emptier space.
Answer:
Atoms will rearrange and for new substances
Explanation:
In a chemical reaction, elements combine their atoms and create new substances. For this to occur, the bonds must break and form new ones with the other atoms.
