Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.

svetlana [45]

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

What happens to an electron when it emits a photon

Flura [38]

Answer:

when electron emit the radiations it means it jumped to the lower energy level from higher energy level.

Explanation:

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

The process is called de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

The oxidation of Cu₂O(s) to CuO(s) is an exothermic process:

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

w = 7376.6 J

Explanation:

To calculate the work done in the system, we need first to calculate the number of moles of all compounds.

The following expression, that comes from the 1° law of thermodynamic, will help you to get the work:

w = ΔnRT

Where:

Δn: difference in the number of moles between products and reactants

R: constant universal of gases (8.314 J / mol K)

T: Temperature in Kelvin.

As we are doing this reaction in STP, then the Pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 0 °C or 273 K.

Now, we already have the moles of Cu₂O, let's see, according to the balanced reaction, how many moles we should have of O₂ and CuO.

If 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cu₂O then 6.5 moles of Cu₂O will be:

moles O₂ = 6.5 moles Cu₂O * (1 mole O₂/2 moles Cu₂O) = 3.25 moles O₂

If 2 moles of Cu₂O produces 4 moles of CuO, then 6.5 moles will be:

moles CuO = 6.5 moles Cu₂O*(4 moles CuO/2 moles Cu₂O) = 13 moles CuO

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the value of Δn.

Δn = moles product - moles reactants

Δn = 13 - (6.5 + 3.25) = 3.25 moles

Now, we can calculate the work done in the system:

w = 3.25 * (8.314 * 273)

Hope this helps
