Which of these statements about atomic models is most likely correct?

Chemistry

taurus [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is the second option

Explanation:

Generally, the aim of science is to understand a particular concept in the best and the most correct way possible; hence experiments are done and repeated to ensure an explanation is actually true about a concept or need modification.

The atomic models have also been a "beneficiary" of this process. The different atomic models are usually been improved upon as scientists leaned more. For example, the Dalton's atomic theory has been modified to a more correct atomic description; some of which are shown below

(1) Dalton's theory suggested that an atom is the smallest unit of a molecule. We know now from different experiments (by J. J Thompson and Rutherford) that atoms are not the smallest molecules and are made up of smaller particles known as protons, neutrons and electrons.

(2) Dalton's theory suggested that atoms of the same elements are alike in all aspects. The knowledge of isotopy shows this is not always the case. As atoms of the same elements (isotopes) have the same atomic number but different mass number; hence cannot be said to be the same in all aspects.

(3) Dalton's theory also suggested that when atoms react, they do so in fixed, simple whole number ratio. The knowledge of organic chemistry shows atoms do not always react in simple whole number ratios

There are several modifications to different postulations by scientists that have also occurred aside from this, hence the most correct answer is that "As scientists learned more, they modified the atomic model"

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?
vlabodo [156]

A. High intermolecular forces of attraction. If there are high intermolecular forces, the molecules will need large energies to escape into the liquid. The substance will nave a high melting point.

The other options are <em>incorrect </em>because they are <em>weak force</em>s. They would cause <em>low melting points</em>.
