J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.
Answer:
NaHCO3 = No. of atoms are 1 sodium + 1 Hydrogen + 1 carbon + 3 oxygens = 6 atoms per molecule.
The mass percentage is 15.1465%.
Answer:
A. 8
Explanation:
8 valence electrons means you have a full shell.
Answer:
Anode:
3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e
Cathode:
2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)
Explanation:
Anode:
3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e
Cathode:
2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)
Magnesium is more electro positive than aluminum hence it functions as the anode. Six electrons are lost/gained in the redox process as shown in the oxidation and reduction half reaction equations above. Magnesium is oxidized to magnesium ion while aluminum is reduced to elemental aluminum.
