Chemistry

3 0

A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.


A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.


The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.


Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.


They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).

Describe the location of the negative charges of the atom in j.j thompsons plum pudding model
iren2701 [21]

The location of the negative charges is evenly distributed throughout the entire atom.

J. J. Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks.

Atoms are made up of smaller particles.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron ( the negative charges of the atom) in 1897.

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge and evenly distributed throughout the entire atom.

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis that the atom was composed of immaterial vortices.

Later, Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate.
