What is the particle theory

Chemistry
1 answer:
kolezko [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The kinetic theory of matter (particle theory) says that all matter consists of many, very small particles which are constantly moving or in a continual state of motion. The degree to which the particles move is determined by the amount of energy they have and their relationship to other particles.

Six main points of the particle theory:

• All matter is made of particles.

• Particles have space between them.

• Particles are always moving.

• Particles move faster and get farther apart when heated.

• Particles are attracted to each other.

• All Particles of the same substance are identical

Someone please explain how this works Which type of reaction occurs in the core of a nuclear reactor in a nuclear power plant?
Paul [167]

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is the nuclear fission reaction given:

  • ²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

<h3>What is a nuclear reactor?</h3>

A nuclear reactor is a device which produces electrical energy as a result of the nuclear reactions that take place within it.

In a nuclear reactor, the reaction that takes place within the core is a nuclear fission chain reaction.

In a nuclear fission reaction, the nucleus of larger atoms are split into the nucleus of smaller atoms when fast moving neutrons are used to bombard the nucleus of the large atom. The fission of the nucleus of the large atom results in the formation of atoms of lighter nucleus as well as more protons which then bombard more nucleus of the large atoms resulting in a chain reaction.

The chain reaction occurring within the nuclear reactor core is controlled by the insertion of boron rods which absorbs the excess neutrons produced.

An example of a reaction that occurs within the core of a nuclear reactor is given below:

²³⁵₉₂U + ¹₀n ---> ⁹⁰₃₈Sr + ¹⁴³₅₄ + 3 ¹₀n

A shiny, smooth piece of black plastic and an identical piece of white plastic are exposed to visible light and sound waves. Whi
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The awnser is D

Explanation:

Since the black pieces absorb light better than white pieces, the white pieces will reflect light better. But since color doesn't affect sound, the sound waves are reflected the same.

The element born, b, has an atomic mass of 10.81 amu according to the periodic table. however, no single atom of boron has amass
klio [65]
The atomic mass or relative isotopic mass refers to the mass of a single particle, and therefore is tied to a certain specific isotope of an element. The dimensionless standard atomic weight instead refers to the AVERAGE of atomic mass values of a typical naturally-occurring mixture of isotopes for a sample of an element.
You can count it by yourself using formula

m = ({first isotopic distribution%}× {first atomic.mass})+ ({second isotopic distribution%}× {second atomic.mass}) / {100}
