Two students have been researching the atomic theory in preparation for their chemistry test. Melanie stated that Thomson's disc

overy revolutionized the understanding of an atom more than Rutherford. Josue disagreed with Melanie, he stated Rutherford's discovery revolutionized the understanding of an atom more than Thomson. Which student do you agree with?

Answer:

Josue

Explanation:

J.J Thompson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom. In his proposition, the atom is a sphere of positive charges into which negative charges were embedded. This model of the atom did not significantly contribute to our present day understanding of atomic structure.

On the other hand Ernest Rutherford laid out the foundation for a more accurate understanding of atomic structure in his nuclear model of the atom. According to Rutherford, the atom consists of a positively charged massive core called the nucleus around which electron move in orbits. His idea was akin to the solar system with the sun at it's core and planets moving around the sun in orbits.

This his idea of the nuclear theory was held as fundamentally correct by Neils Bohr's model of the atom. Hence, his nuclear theory of the atom was a significant milestone in our present day understanding of atomic structure.

More water is not always better. For example; cacti only need water about every two weeks, the same with succulent plants. Not every plant needs to be watered every day, or the plant may be overwatered and die.

The mass of a proton is 1.673 × 10-24 g. The mass of a neutron is 1.675 × 10-24 g. The mass of the nucleus of an 56Fe atom is 9.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

1.31 X 10^ -10 joules per Fe 56 atom

Explanation:

The mass of a proton is 1.673 × 10-24 g. The mass of a neutron is 1.675 × 10-24 g. The mass of the nucleus of an 56Fe atom is 9.289 × 10-23 g. What is the nuclear binding energy (in J) for 56Fe? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)

some of the theoretical mass will be converted to binding energy

by Einstein's famous relativity equation

E = mc^2

where E is in joules, m is in Kgm. c is in m/sec

56Fe is element 26 so it has 26 protons and  56 -26 =30 neutrons

its theoretical nuclear mass is

(26 X 1.673 X 10^-24) + (30X1.675 X 10^-24)  =

(43.498 X 10^-24) + (50.250 X 10^-24)=

93.748 X 10^24 gm

but its actual mass is 9.289 X 10^-23 g or

92.289 X 10^-24 g

the mas defect is the theoretical mass minus the actual

1.459 X 10^-24 gm =^

1.459 X 10^-27 Kgm

c = 3.00 X 10* m/s=

so joules of binding energy = (1.459 X 10^-27) X 9 X10^16)

1.31 X 10^ -10 joules per Fe 56 atom

The mineral vanadinite has the formula pb5(vo4)3cl. what mass percent of chlorine does it contain?
lubasha [3.4K]

The molar mass of vanadinite is 1416.27 g/mol. Looking at the molecular formula we can see that there is 1 mole of Cl for every mole of vanadinite. Therefore:

mass percent = [(1 mole Cl * 35.45 g/mol) / (1 mole Pb5(VO4)3Cl * 1416.27 g/mol)] * 100%

<span>mass percent = 2.50%</span>
