Covalent compounds are held together with an intra molecular attraction which is weaker than metallic bond

hence covalent compounds exist as liquids, gases and soft solids

How many atoms are in 12 moles of iron?
Murljashka [212]

Explanation: The atomic mass of iron (Fe) is 55.85 amu. The atomic mass of radium (Ra) is 226 amu. One mole of atoms of any element contains 6.022 X 1023 atoms, regardless of the type of element. The mass of one mole of an element depends on what that element is, and is equal to the atom mass of that element in grams.

Answer:

Josue

Explanation:

J.J Thompson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom. In his proposition, the atom is a sphere of positive charges into which negative charges were embedded. This model of the atom did not significantly contribute to our present day understanding of atomic structure.

On the other hand Ernest Rutherford laid out the foundation for a more accurate understanding of atomic structure in his nuclear model of the atom. According to Rutherford, the atom consists of a positively charged massive core called the nucleus around which electron move in orbits. His idea was akin to the solar system with the sun at it's core and planets moving around the sun in orbits.

This his idea of the nuclear theory was held as fundamentally correct by Neils Bohr's model of the atom. Hence, his nuclear theory of the atom was a significant milestone in our present day understanding of atomic structure.
