In the Bohr model, an electron’s position is known precisely because it orbits the nucleus in a fixed path.

In the electron cloud model, the electron’s position cannot be known precisely. Only its probable location can be known.

Answer: The main difference between the two models was about the location of the electron in an atom.

Explanation: Bohr in his model described that the electrons are revolving around the nucleus in discrete circular paths known as shells or orbits. He was not able to explain the exact or probable location of the electrons in an atom.

But, Electron cloud model which was given by Erwin Schrodinger explained the probability of finding an electron in an atom by using the emission spectra of that atom.

Hence, the main difference between these two models was on the location of electron in an atom.

Answer:

Explanation:

The moving part won't move on its own there's a force but the force isn't enough for something like a bike chain it need grease to move smoothly or else it will just be super stuck or slow.

In atomic science, the z number refers to the number of __________ in the nucleus of an atom.
Sliva [168]
By convention, the symbol Z is assigned to the number of protons in the nucleus, or simply, the atomic number of an element. This is actually used when you want to determine the effective nuclear charge of a specific electron of an element. The equation is:

Z* = Z - S
where
Z* is the effective nuclear charge
Z is the atomic number
S is the number of electrons between the electron in question and the nucleus

There is due to a phenomenon called the shielding effect. This effect states that the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the lesser is its pull of force to the nucleus. That is the reason why the valence electrons (outermost electrons) are the ones always involved in chemicals reactions. Because they are not that strongly bonded to the nucleus of an atom.

Which of the following would have the largest pKa?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 would have the largest pKa

Explanation:

To answer this question we must know Kb of CH3CH2NH2 is 5.6x10⁻⁴, and for C6H5NH2 is 4.0x10⁻¹⁰. And the CH3CH2NH3+ and C6H5NH3+ are related with these substances because are their conjugate base. That means:

pKa of  CH3CH2NH3+ =  CH3CH2NH2;  C6H5NH3+ =  C6H5NH2

Also, Kw / Kb = Ka

Thus:

pKa of CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 is:

Kw / kb = Ka = 1.79x10⁻¹¹

-log Ka = pKa

pKa = 10.75

pKa of C6H5NH3+/ C6H5NH2 is:

Kw / kb = Ka = 2.5x10⁻⁵

-log Ka = pKa

pKa = 4.6

That means CH3CH2NH3+/CH3CH2NH2 would have the largest pKa

Imagine that you're doing an experiment that requires you to smell the odor of a chemical solution in a beaker. Which procedure
Alex787 [66]
The correct answer is (a) wave the fumes toward your nose with your hand. If you smell the chemicals directly, it could be harmful too your health, especially if they are strong. Also remember to <em>never </em>smell chemicals unless you are being told to do so.
