Answer:

What led him to change his outlook was because in his experiment, when he fired positively charged alpha particles at a piece of gold foil, he observed that some of the alpha particles were deflected to some degree, and some others bounced back directly toward him.

Explanation:

In his experiment, he fired positively charged alpha particles at a piece of gold foil.

Now, after doing that he observed that some of the alpha particles were deflected to some degree, and some others bounced back directly toward him.

After those observations, he felt that for the order of the alpha particles to have been deflected, they would possibly have been hit or come close to being hit by a positively charged particle in the atom. This made him to conclude that an atom consists mostly of empty space, with a very small and dense but positively charged nucleus at the center. And that this nucleus contains most of the mass of the atom, while the electrons orbit the nucleus.

In a 100 g sample of iron(III) oxide, how many grams of iron are present?

e-lub [12.9K]

The formula of Iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
In order to calculate the mass of iron in a given sample of iron(III) oxide, we must first know the mass percentage of iron in iron(III) oxide. This is calculated by:
[mass of iron in one mole of iron(III) oxide/ mass of one mole of iron(III) oxide] * 100
= [(moles of iron * Mr of iron) / (moles of Iron * Mr of Iron + moles of Oxygen * Mr of Oxygen)] * 100
= [(2 * 56) / (2 * 56 + 3 * 16)] * 100
= (112 / 160) * 100
= 70%
Thus, in a 100g sample, the weight of iron will be:
100 * 70%
= 70 grams

Match each set of quantum numbers to the correct subshell description by typing in the correct number.

ivann1987 [24]

The location of the valence electron or the outermost electron is expressed in quantum numbers. There are five quantum numbers: prinicipal (n), angular momentum (l), magnetic (ms) and magnetic spin (ms) quantum numbers. This is based on Bohr's atomic model where electrons orbit around the nucleus. These electrons are in the orbitals with specific energy levels. Starting from energy level 1 that is closest to the nucleus, the energy level decreases to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. These energy level numbers represent the principal quantum number. Within each orbital also contains subshell. From increasing to decreasing order, these subshells are the s, p, d and f subshells. These subshells represent the angular momentum quantum numer. Specifically, s=0, p=1, d=2 and f=3. Therefore, if the electron is in the orbital 5p, the quantum number would be: 5, 1. Applying these, the correct pairing would be:

2p: n=2. l=1
