Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

A burner on a stove produces temperature. thermal energy. hotness. fire energy.
Aleksandr [31]

Question:

The options are;

a. Temperature

b. Thermal Energy

c. Hotness

d. Fire Energy

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. Thermal energy

Explanation:

A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.

Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.

4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).

What was John Dalton's contribution to the development of the atomic theory?
Lorico [155]

John Dalton made some hypothesis about the structure of atom. He proposed that matter is composed of great number of indivisible particles called atoms they can neither be destroyed nor be created.

<h3>What is atomic theory?</h3>

There are different theories regarding the structure and electronic properties of an atom. Many scientists contributed to the modern theory of atomic structure in which John Dalton was first to mention the word atom.

According to Dalton' theory, matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms. Atoms can neither be created nor be destroyed. All the atoms of the same element are identical in all aspects.

Atoms of different elements are different and the compounds are formed by the combination of atoms.  Dalton's theory provided a sound basis for the laws of chemical combination and also several properties of gases and liquids known at that time.

However, he could not explain the reason for chemical combination of atoms and did not give any idea about the existence of isotopes and isobars.

Hence, the main aspects of Dalton's theory was the indivisibility of atoms and the chances of chemical combination.
