For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.

Five students performed a Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis of a protein sample. The following weight % nitrogen values were determined

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

G_calculated = 1.756

The outlier should be rejected, as G_cal > G_tab (= 1.463) at 95 % confidence.

Explanation:

The Grubb's test is used for identifying an outlier in data, which is from the same population. For this, a statistical term, G, is calculated for the suspected outlier. If the calculated value is greater than the tabulated G value then the suspected value is rejected. This term is given as,

G_calculated = | suspect value - mean| / s

Here, suspect value is 13.8, mean is to be taken of all the data (including suspected value). s is the standard deviation of the sample data.

s is calculated from the following formula:

s = (Σ(xi - x)²/(N-1))^1/2

Here, x is the mean, which is 15.24, xi is individual value and N is the total number of data (5).

From the above formula, s is found to be

Standard Deviation, s = 0.820

Now for G value,

G_calculated = | 13.8 - 15.24| / (0.820)

G_ calculated = 1.756

The tabulated G value at 95 % confidence and N -1 (5 - 1 = 4) degree of freedom is, 1.463.

As calculated G (1.756) is greater than the tabulated G (1.463), the value 13.8 is considered an outlier at 95 % confidence.

Why must each atom of an element always have the same number of protons?

Yuliya22 [10]

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero.
