The list of choices from which you have to check all that apply is:

  • Particles of the cathode rays are fundamental to all matter.
  • In the atom, the particles of the cathode rays are embedded in a diffuse cloud of positive charge.
  • Matter contains negative charge and by inference positive charge.
  • There are subatomic size particles in an atom.
  • Cathode rays have mass.

Answer:

The correct choices are:

  • Particles of the cathode rays are fundamental to all matter.
  • Matter contains negative charge and by inference positive charge.
  • There are subatomic size particles in an atom.
  • Cathode rays have mass.

Explanation:

From the five statements, only the second one,<em> In the atom, the particles of the cathode rays are embedded in a diffuse cloud of positive charge, </em><em>is not validated by the data Thomson collected in his experiments.</em>

<em />

Nevertheless, he conjectured that that was the right structure and proposed the famous Plum Pudding Model of the atom, which ended not being correct.

The cathode rays are streams of negatively charged particles produced in an electrode. As, those rays did not change for different kind of electrodes or gases, it was concluded that they were present in all the forms of matter. So, this validate the first statement, <em>Particles of the cathode rays are fundamental to all matter.</em>

Thomson determined the ratio charge/mass for these particles of the cathode rays and found that the mass was much smaller than the mass of the lightest atom (hydrogen atom). This meant that there were particles smaller than the atom. This validates the fourth and fifth statements: <em>There are subatomic size particles in an atom and Cathode rays have mass.</em>

<em />

Since, the matter is electrically neutral, the fact that there are negative particles meant that there are also positive charges that balance the charge of the atom making in neutral. This is the third statement <em>Matter contains negative charge and by inference positive charge.</em>

<em></em>

As already stated, this does not say where and how the negative and positive charges are in the atoms, so the second statement, <em>In the atom, the particles of the cathode rays are embedded in a diffuse cloud of positive charge, </em>is not validated by the data Thomson collected.

Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide gas. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all
Firlakuza [10]
Sulfur trioxide (SO3) is a chemical compound that is a significant pollutant in gaseous form as it is involved in the production of acid rain. 

Industrially, sulfur trioxide is an important precursor to sulfuric acid and is formed from the reaction between sulfur dioxide (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) as shown in the chemical equation below.

What are some ways population size is limited within an ecosystem?
Vsevolod [243]
<span>Population growth is limited in ecosystems because of lack of resources. If there were unlimited resources, a population would grow exponentially. For example, if a single bacterium were placed in a petri dish and was given unlimited resources, it would multiply to cover the entire world within several days. Unfortunately, resources are limited, so populations are too.</span>

Calculate the molarity of 0.850 mol of Na2S in 1.70 L of solution.
Basile [38]

Molarity is simply the ratio of the number of moles of a substance over the total volume of the solution. Assuming that the addition of 0.850 moles does not change the overall volume of 1.70 L, therefore molarity is simply:

 

Molarity = 0.850 moles / 1.70 L = 0.5 moles / L = 0.5 M
