How did atomic theory develop and change?

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!

Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H6. In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

sp^2

Explanation:

Hello,

The six-carbon benzene ring contains two types of bonds: C-C and C-H bonds, that are  sp^2-hybridized σ bonds, and the six π bonds that form the aromatic ring. The σ bonds form from one s orbital and two p orbitals from each carbon, which then bond the carbon to the two carbons on either side and the carbon's single hydrogen. The remaining p orbital from each carbon atom sticks out above and below the plane of the ring; these p orbitals overlap sideways, rather than lengthwise, to form the aromatic π bond system.

Best regards.

Which has a higher frequency, a neutron or electron? Why?
DanielleElmas [232]
The electron, due to the way an electron orbits the nucleus of an atom. 

According to Quantum Mechanics, electrons do not really orbit the nucleus of an atom. In fact, the most tightly bound state, the 1s orbital, has no angular momentum at all. This would be the state with the most "kinetic energy" and yet there is no "orbital" motion at all in this state.

A certain first-order reaction 45% complete in 65seconds, determine the rate constant and the half life for the process ​
masha68 [24]

The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction 45% complete in 65 s

Required

The rate constant and the half life

Solution

For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o

45% complete, 55% remains

A = 0.55

Ao = 1

Input the value :

ln A = -kt + ln Ao

ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1

-0.598=-k.65

k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life :

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³

t1/2 = 75.3 s
