Sir James Chadwick was the scientist who discovered the neutron. The electron and proton had already been found but with the neutron known, we knew everything that made up our universe. He won the 1935 Nobel Peace Prize for his discovery.

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

James Chadwick is best known for his discovery of the neutron in 1932.

Earlier research

Before 1932, the only subatomic particles known were the electron and the proton. Scientists thought that the nucleus contained both protons and electrons.

For example, they thought a helium atom contained four protons and two electrons, with two electrons orbiting the nucleus.

In 1928, German physicists discovered that beryllium nuclei,  when bombarded with α particles, emitted a strange type of extremely energetic radiation. It had no charge, because it wasn't deflected by electric or magnetic fields. Neither was it γ-rays, because it did not discharge an electroscope.

In 1932 Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie discovered that the radiation knocked protons  loose from paraffin, and they could be detected by a Geiger counter. They, too, thought the radiation was some type of strange γ-rays .

Chadwick's work

Chadwick did not believe their explanation.

He quickly repeated their experiments with paraffin and also used other substances as targets.

He couldn't observe the uncharged radiation directly, but he could count the protons and measure their energies as they were ejected from the targets.

By working backwards and using the  laws of conservation of energy and momentum, Chadwick concluded that the radiation must consist of neutral particles with a mass 1.0067 times  that of a proton.

He had discovered the neutron.

A horse was 6,200 meters north of a barn. For 22.5 minutes, the horse ran toward the barn at 152 meters per minute. In that time
lutik1710 [3]

3420‬m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of path = 6200m

time taken for the horse to run = 22.5min

speed = 152meters/minute

Unknown:

Distance run by the horse = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

   Speed       =    \frac{distance}{time}

    Distance = speed x time

 

     Distance = 152 x 22.5 = 3420‬m

Which of the following statements are TRUE? Group of answer choices Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants a
White raven [17]

Answer:

Below answers are correct.

1) Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants and products are equal.

2) A reaction quotient (Q) larger than the equilibrium constant (K) means that the reaction will favor the production of more products.

3) Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction

Explanation: Dynamic equilibrium is also called reversible reaction because it moves both in farward as well as in backward direction. Dynamic equilibrium occurs when reactants convert into products and products convert into reactant at the same time. It only occurs when the reaction occurs in closed container.

A class of substances known as __________ are used for their medicinal properties.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: Alkaloids

A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.

Explanation:

Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.

Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:

- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system

- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.

- cocaine, nicotine etc
