Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Bohr was the first to discover that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

PLEASE HURRY! What is the name of this alkane?

belka [17]

Answer:

C. 1-ethyl, 3-methylcyclohexane

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Explanation:

The 1-ethyl is because you start numbering from the longest branch, towards the next closest branch. Prefix "eth-" means two, there are 2 carbons in the longest branch. 3-methyl is because the next branch is at number 3, and prefix "meth-" means 1, there is 1 carbon in that chain. "Cyclo" in cyclohexane means the skeletal model is shaped like a ring, and the "hexane" means there are 6 carbons in the ring. Prefix "hex" means 6.

A sample of the chiral molecule limonene is 79% enantiopure. what percentage of each enantiomer is present? what is the percent

Degger [83]

Answer : The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

The % of enantiomeric excess = 58%

Explanation : Enantiomeric excess (ee) is the measurement of purity used for chiral substances.

Given,

% of pure limonene enantiomer = The % of (+) limonene isomer = 79%

Therefore, The % of (-) limonene isomer = 0%

Formula used :

$\%(+)\text{ isomer}=\frac{ee}{2}+50\%$

Where, ee → enantiomeric excess

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get the value of enantiomeric excess (ee).

${ee}=\frac{\%(+)-50\%}{2}$

$=\frac{79\%-50\%}{2}$

= 58%
