Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.  

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.  

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

For each of the salts below, match the salts that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities.
Anni [7]

Answer:

1 - Salts required  that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities for copper (II) sulfide are - CaSO_3 (Option b) ,BaCrO_4 (Option c) and CaS (Option d)

2 - Salts  that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities for zinc hydroxide are - Mg(OH)_2 (Option a)

Explanation:

K_s_p values can be used to compare the solubility of salts that produce ions in a 1:1 ratio.

  1. CuS {copper (II)sulfide} dissociates with ions in ratio 1:1 .

Because the salts CaSO_3 , BaCrO_4 and CaS  have a 1:1 ion ratio, the solubilities of options b, c, and d can be compared to salt 1.

K_s_p Values can be used to compare the solubility of salts that produce ions in a 1:2 or 2:1 ratio.

  2. Zn(OH)_2 dissociates into ions in ratio 1:2 .

Because the ions in the salt Mg(OH)_2 are in a 1:2 ratio, the solubility of salt 2 can be compared to that of salt 'a'.

Hence , Salt 1 is matched with options b , c , d.

              Salt 2 is matched with option a.

Whose model of the atom did J.J. Thomson prove to be incorrect with his Cathode-Ray tube experiments?
Brut [27]
JJ Thomson proved John Dalton's theory wrong, as Thomson discovered the electron. This showed that there were particles that were smaller than an atom, despite Dalton claiming that the atom is the smallest unit of matter.
