How did atomic theory develop and change?

Chemistry

Agata [3.3K]3 years ago

The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 0.60 liters 3.0 M H2SO4?
slava [35]

Answer:

A. 0.90 L.

Explanation:

  • NaOH solution will react with H₂SO₄ according to the balanced reaction:

<em>H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>

<em>1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of NaOH.</em>

  • For NaOH to react completely with H₂SO₄, the no. of millimoles should be equal.

<em>∴ (MV) NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄.</em>

x for H₂SO₄ = 2, due to having to reproducible H⁺ ions.

<em>∴ V of NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄/ M of NaOH</em> = 2(0.6 L)(3.0 M)/(4.0 M) = <em>0.90 L.</em>

Standard temperature and pressure (STP), in the context of gases, refers to a) 298.15 K and 1 atm b) 273.15 K and 1 atm c) 298.1
lina2011 [118]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

Explanation :

STP : STP stands for standard temperature and pressure.

STP conditions :

The temperature is, 0^oC or 273.15K or 32^oF

The pressure is, 1atm or 101.325kPa

The volume is 22.4 L for 1 mole of a substance.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) 273.15 K and 1 atm

Sort these species into isoelectronic groups. It doesn\'t matter which group goes in which box, so long as the correct species a
OleMash [197]

Answer : The isoelectronic groups are:

He,Be^{2+},Li^{+}

N^{3-},Mg^{2+}

S^{2-},Ti^{4+},K^{+}

Explanation :

Isoelectronic : It is defined as the compound or molecule having the same number of electrons and the same number of electronic structure.

  • The element is helium. The number of electrons are 2.
  • The element is beryllium. The number of electrons are 4. The number of electrons in Be^{2+} = 4 - 2 = 2
  • The element is lithium. The number of electrons are 3. The number of electrons in Li^{+} = 3 - 1 = 2
  • The element is nitrogen. The number of electrons are 7. The number of electrons in N^{3-} = 7 + 3 = 10
  • The element is neon. The number of electrons are 10.
  • The element is sulfur. The number of electrons are 16. The number of electrons in S^{2-} = 16 + 2 = 18
  • The element is magnesium. The number of electrons are 12. The number of electrons in Mg^{2+} = 12 - 2 = 10
  • The element is titanium. The number of electrons are 22. The number of electrons in Ti^{4+} = 22 - 4 = 18
  • The element is potassium. The number of electrons are 19. The number of electrons in K^{+} = 19 - 1 = 18

The isoelectronic groups are:

He,Be^{2+},Li^{+}

N^{3-},Mg^{2+}

S^{2-},Ti^{4+},K^{+}
