Why do scientist use models to study atoms

Scientist use models to study atoms because you cannot either see or perceive directly what do atoms look like.

Models permit to explain in a simplified way how the atoms are constituted, and, so, figure out how they behave and how they are the bulding blocks of the matter (elements and compounds).

A model can be a drawing or structure with balls and sticks, which show in an idealized way what an atom is.

Since the scientists have discovered different facts about the atoms along the last 200 years the models of the atoms have also evolved.

The plum pudding model of the atom proposed by JJ Thompson was different of the nuclear model proposed by Rutherford, and Rutherford's was different from the planetary model proposed by Bohr, and this is different from the quantum model.

Models are used to study atoms because we can never really see an atom up close, and a model is like a super magnified version of the atom. Plus, its easier to study from them because we can pin point the different characteristics of the atom (Protons, Neutrons, etc.)

A solution of KMnO4 has an absorbance of 0.539 when measured in the colorimeter. Determine the concentration of the KMnO4 given
loris [4]

Answer:

Concentration of unknown solution is 0.0416 M

Explanation:

As we know  

Absorbance is equal to the product of molar absorptivity of KMnO4 m, path length and concentration

From the given set of graphical data, it is clear that the absorbance vs concentration is a straight line.  

From the graph, we can obtain-  

Y = 5.73 X – 0.0065

Absorbance = 0.232

0.232 = 5.73 X – 0.0065

X = 0.0416  

Concentration of unknown solution is 0.0416 M

Bond [772]

Answer:

average for silk =141"

average for cotton =96"

average for nylon = 70"

if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,

silk is the best

if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,

nylon is the best

Explanation:

Homework 1

Problem Solving

1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in

the table below.

(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)

MATERIAL

1st TRY

2nd TRY

3rd TRY

AVERAGE

Sik

144

140  average of 3 = 141

139

Cotton

98

96   average of 3  = 96

94

Nylon

72

How many phosphorous atoms are found in three molecules of magnesium phosphate, 3Mg3(PO4)2?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since the given formula is 3Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}. According to cross method formula, magnesium has +2 charge so, PO_{4} is multiplied by 2.

Thus, 1 molecule of magnesium phosphate will contain 2 atoms of phosphorus.

Therefore, three molecules of magnesium phosphate contains following number of atoms.

  • Mg = 9
  • P = 6
  • O = 24

Hence, we can conclude that there are 6 atoms of phosphorus in three molecules of magnesium phosphate, 3Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}.
