Answer:

  • <em>1. The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus.</em>

<em />

  • <em>3. Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.</em>

<em />

  • <em>4. The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space.</em>

<em />

  • <em>6. The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.</em>

Explanation:

When J.J Thmpson discovered the electron, he depicted the atom by the plum pudding model: a solid dough of homogeneously distributed positive charge (the pudding) containing negatively charged electrons (the plums).

Later, the scientist <em>Ernest Rutherford</em>, with its experiment of the gold foil experiment showed that the subatomic particles where not all concentrated in a solid part.

When a thin gold foil was bombarded with alpha particles (positively charged nuclei of helium atoms), most of the particles went through the gold sheet, with little deviation, but some particles bounded with a high deviation.

Such few high deviations were explained by the fact that there was a heavy region in the atom (the core or nucleus) with the positive charge that repelled the positively charged alpha particles.

Thus, <em>the mass of the atom was conentrated at the nucleus</em> (choice 1), where the positive charge is distributed in one location, which is the nucleus (not over the entire atom, just on the nucleus) discarding the choice number 2 (that a positive charge is spread equally over the atom) and proving choices 3 (<em>the positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom</em>) and 6 (<em>the atom contains a positively charged nucleus</em>).

Since most of the particles indeed went through the nucleus, this nucleus has to  occupy little space, and most of the atom was empty space, proving choice 4 (<em>the majority of the space inside the atom is empty space</em>).

Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1) The elements have filled valence levels.

Explanation:

Since they have filled valence levels, they're stable and don't need to electrons to fill their valence shells since they're already full.

2) False, They do have electrons

3) False, He does have only one electron shell, but going down the periods, every next element have one more electron shell than a preceding one has.

4)False, they're actually the smallest atoms of their respective period

Answer:

the products formed are : -

1. CaCO3 - Calcium Carbonate

2. NaCl - Sodium Chloride

Explanation:

Calcium chloride reacts with Sodium carbonate to form Calcium carbonate and Sodium chloride. this reaction is a double displacement reaction.

here's the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction : -

CaCl2 + Na2CO3 =》CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

There is a 30g of be-11 it has a half-life of about 14 seconds how much will be left in 28 seconds
Lelu [443]

There will be 7.5 g of Be-11 remaining after 28 s.

If 14 s = 1 half-life, 28 s = 2 half-lives.

After the first half-life, ½ of the Be-11 (15 g) will disappear, and 15 g will remain.

After the second half-life, ½ of the 15 g (7.5 g) will disappear, and 7.5 g will remain.

In symbols,

<em>N</em> = <em>N</em>₀(½)^<em>n</em>

where

<em>n</em> = the number of half-lives

<em>N</em>₀ = the original amount

<em>N</em> = the amount remaining after <em>n</em> half-lives
