Answer: b. the masses of the nucleus and electron cloud are balanced.

Explanation:

1) From J.J. Thompson plum pudding model of the atom, and thereafter, it is know the the mass of the electrons are much, much smaller than the mass of an atom.

2) Also, from Ernest Rutherford gold foil experiment, it was determined that the atom consisted of a small and heavy positvely charged nucleus surrounded by electrons.

3) As per the scientific evidence, the current atom model (quantum model) we know that:

a. It is true that the electron cloud takes up much more space than the nucleus: the electrons are in regions called orbitals which are around the tiny nucleus.

b. It is not true that the masses of the nucleus and electron cloud are balanced: the relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons are:

1 : 1 : 1 / 1840.

Which means that the nucleous contains almost all the mass of the atom.

c. It is true that the electrons move much faster than the particles in the nucleus: the particles in the nucleous stand in a very reduced space whose motion is only vibrational, while the electrons move rapidly i n the orbitals.

d. It is true that the charges of the nucleus and electron cloud are balanced: the atom is neutral because the positive charges of the nuclous equals the negative charges of the electrons.

I think the correct answer among the choices is option B. The statement which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom will be that the masses of the nucleus and electron cloud are balanced.

What are the electrons called in the lectrons called in the outermost energy level of an atom? Why are they important (10) (B) T

koban [17]

Answer:

This outermost shell is known as the valence shell, and the electrons found in it are called valence electrons.

Explanation:

They are important to an atom because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, the less stable it becomes.

Answer 1:
Correct Answer: Option A i.e. The temperature stays constant for a while, then rises (A).

Reason:
At 0 oC, H2O exist in dual state (solid and liquid) i.e. there exist an equilibrium between ice and water. Hence, when the heat is supplied, it is initially used to bring about phase transformation from solid to liquid state. During this time, temperature remains constant. Once the phase transformation has occurred, heat is utilized for increasing the temperature of system i.e. water.

Answer 2:
Correct Answer: Option B) At first, the energy supplied goes into overcoming attractive forces in the solid. 
Reason:
In the present case, initially the energy supplied goes into overcoming attractive forces in the solid. Once the ice is converted into water, it now exist in single phase i.e .liquid. Hence, now when further heat is supplied to the system, it is used only for increasing the temperature of system.
