How did Ernest Rutherford’s experiment relate to J.J. Thomson’s work?

1 answer:

8 0

Thomson realized that the accepted model of an atom did not account for negatively or positively charged particles. Therefore, he proposed a model of the atom which he likened to plum pudding. ... Rutherford with the assistance of Ernest Marsden and Hans Geiger performed a series of experiments using alpha particles.

Comparison between alkyl nucleophilic substitution with acyl nucleophilic substitution

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

in both nucleophil attach the c and leaving group leave but in acyl nu. subsituation c of carbonyl because of double bond with o have bigger positive charge and is better electrophil so do it faster,also alkyl nu. subsituation can have rearangment if going from sn1 and in sn2 sterichemistry of molecule change , acyl nu. subsituation most of time is better

The majority of the elements essential to life are found in what part of the periodic table?

IRINA_888 [86]

The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.

How are coefficients used to balance chemical equations?

Zepler [3.9K]

According to the law of conservation of mass, the quantity of the elements, involved in chemical reactions does not change. For example,
H2O2 - > H2O + O2
is wrong, because there are two O atoms on the first side of the equation, and three on the other. To correct it, coefficients must be added, until the amount of both H and O atoms is equal on both sides.
2H2O2 - > 2H2O + O2

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Explain why HS2 has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

H2S has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry because: presence of lone pair in H2S

Absence of Lone pair in BeH2

Explanation:

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of S = 16 = 1s(2 )2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2 )3p(4)

Outer most shell has 6 electron

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 6

Out of these 6 electrons ,

2 electrons are formed in bonding with Hydrogen

Rest 4 are non- bonding and present as lone - pair

H2S exist - sp3 hybridisation

There are 2-Lone pair on S in H2S (look at the image attached)

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of Be = 4 = 1s(2 ) 2s(2)

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 2

These 2- electron are involved in bonding with two Hydrogen and form liner shape.*Form sp - hybridized

Hence shape is linear because it has non - lone pair.

VSEPR : According to this theory lone pair causes repulsion to the bond and cause unstability in the molecule.

Hence the bonds shifts away from lone pairs . This is why H-S bonds in H2S shifts way from lone pair

Explain, in terms of both atoms and molecular structure, why there is no isomer of CH3OH.

Jet001 [13]

Explain, in terms of both atoms and molecular structure, why there is no isomer of CH3OH.

There is no isomer of CH3OH or methanol because it contains only one carbon atom. And also, the structure is tetrahedral, having four substances attached to the carbon atom.
