Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

In 1904, after the discovery of the electron, the English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom. In this model, the atom had a positively-charged space with negatively charged electrons embedded inside it i.e., like a pudding (positively charged space) with plums (electrons) inside.

In 1911, another physicist Ernest Rutherford proposed another model known as the Rutherford model or planetary model of the atom that describes the structure of atoms. In this model, the small and dense atom has a positively charged core called the nucleus. Also, he proposed that just like the planets revolving around the Sun, the negatively charged electrons are moving around the nucleus.

By conducting a gold foil experiment, Rutherford disproved Thomson's model. In this experiment, positively charged alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source enclosed within a protective lead were used which was then focused into a narrow beam. It was then passed through a slit in front of which a thin section of gold foil was placed. A fluorescent screen (coated with zinc sulfide) was also placed in front of the slit to detect alpha particles which on striking the fluorescent screen would produce scintillation (a burst of light) which was visible through a microscope attached to the back of the screen.

He observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any resistance and this implied that atoms contain a large amount of open space. The slight deflection of some of the alpha particles, the large-angle scattering of other alpha particles and even the bouncing back of a very few alpha particles toward the source suggested their interactions with other positively charged particles inside the atom.

So, he concluded that only a dense and positively charged particle such as the nucleus would be responsible for such strong repulsion. Also, the negatively charged electrons electrically balanced the positive nuclear charge and they moved around the nucleus in circular orbits. Between the electrons and nucleus, there was an electrostatic force of attraction just like the gravitational force of attraction between the sun and the revolving planets.

Later, the Rutherford model was replaced by the Bohr atomic model.

Nata [24]

Option B is correct

K = Kp /Kr

The given equation indicating, the product containing 6 moles of proton whereas the reactant contains 2 mole of bismuth and 3 mole of hydrogen sulphide.

Hence, in reaction B there are 2 mole of bismuth and 3 mole of hydrogen sulphide reacting to produce 6 moles of proton. whereas the concentration of Bi2S3 is not considered as it is present in solid phase.

What does a metal's position in an activity series indicate about the chemical properties of that particular metal?
Fed [463]
The closer to the top the metal is in the list, the more active the metal is and the stronger a reducing agent the metal is. When two different metals are involved in a redox reaction, the metal higher in the list will be oxidized and give up electrons that will reduce the cation of the less active metal.

Perform the following conversions:<br> (a) 68°F (a pleasant spring day) to °C and K.
IgorC [24]

Converting  temperature of 68°F to °C gives 20 °C.

Converting  temperature of 68°F to K gives 293 K.

<h3>What is temperature conversion?</h3>

Temperature conversion is the process of converting  the measurement units of the temperature recorded in a particular unit to another unit.

The various units of Temperature include;

  • degree Celsius
  • degree Fahrenheit
  • degree Kelvin

Temperature is measured with thermometer and it records the hotness or coldness of a body.

<h3>Converting  68°F to °C</h3>

F = 1.8C + 32

(F - 32/1.8) = C

(68 - 32) / 1.8 = C

20 ⁰C = 68 ⁰F

<h3>Converting  20°C to K</h3>

0 °C  = 273 K

20 °C  = 273 + 20 = 293 K
