Answer:
In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure 2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.
Explanation:
Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.
The precipitation reaction of sodium nitrate and lead (II) chloride would not happen. No reaction will happen between these substances. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
Answer: Each p orbital can hold 6 electrons.
Explanation: The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so it can contain a maximum of 6 electrons.
Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
This question is incomplete but one can assume the answer from the definition of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the science that describes particles in nature at the atomic and subatomic particle (electron, proton and neutron) level. Thus it can be assumed that atoms and subatomic particles are used to broadly describe particles.
