Why did scientists debate the nature of electromagnetic radiation for more than 200 years?

Chemistry

kifflom [539]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Scientists debated about the nature of electromagnetic radiation for more than 200 years because they could not distinguish if the radiations were made up of waves or just particles. This debate was between 1600 to the early part of 1900s.

  • Some scientists believed that electromagnetic radiations were made up of purely waves.
  • Some were of the school of thought that the radiations consists of jsut particles.
  • The wave-particle theory by Albert Einstein provided solution to this debate.
  • He simply propounded that electromagnetic radiations are made up of both waves and particles.

Today, it is widely accepted and known that electromagnetic radiations consists of both waves and particles.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements.</u></em>

  • <em><u>Mendeleev used patterns to predict undiscovered elements.</u></em>

Explanation:

  • <u>Mendeleev produced the first orderly arrangement of known elements and used patterns to predict the undiscovered elements.</u>

        Those two statments are true.

For the time being there were some 62 known elements. Before Medeleev some schemes to order part of the elements were proposed, but Medeleev showed the relationship between the atomic mass and the properties of the elements (supports second choice). This arrangement is known as the periodic table.

More importantly, Mendeleev predicted correctly the existance and properties of unknown elements, which is his major contribution: he left blanket spaces which where gradually filled when new elements where discovered (this supports the fourth choice).

The first modern chemistry book was written by Antoine Lavoisier (this discards first option).

Mendeleev ordered the elements by increasing mass number (this discards third choice), which was corrected later by the scientist Henry Moseley, who ordered the elements by increasing atomic number (number of protons).

Isotopes were not known by Mendeleev times, so this discards the last option.

tangare [24]

Explanation:

When a metal replaces another metal in solution, we say such a reaction has undergone a single displacement reaction.

In such a reaction, metal higher up in the activity series replaces another one due to their position.

To known the metal or metals that will replace the given copper, we need to reference the activity series of metals.

Every metal higher than copper in the series will displace copper from the solution.

So, there metals are: potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, strontium etc.

Is thiamine mononitrate an ionic bond or covalent bond?
timofeeve [1]
It is a covalent bond. Whenever a compound uses such suffixes like mono, di, tri, tetra, and so on, it is a covalent compound- thus having covalent bonds.
