Answer:

C. He shot tiny alpha particles through a piece of gold foil.

Explanation:

In the year 1911, Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment which gave a deeper perspective to the structure of an atom.

He simply collided a thin gold foil with an alpha particle which he generated from a radioactive source. He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil but a few were deflected back. His discovery led to the proposition of the nuclear model of the atom.

Answer:

Yes, precipitation of barium iodate will occur.

Explanation:

Molarity of barium nitrate solution = 0.050 M

Volume of barium nitrate solution =15.0 mL = 0.0150 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of barium nitrate = n

$n=0.050 M\times 0.0150L=0.00075 mol$

$Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of barium ions: $1\times 0.00075 mol=0.00075 mol$

Molarity of potassium iodate solution = 0.10 M

Volume of potassium iodate solution =100.0 mL = 0.1000 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of potassium iodate = n'

$n'=0.10 M\times 0.1000 L=0.01 mol$

$KIO_3(aq)\rightarrow K^{+}(aq)+IO_3^{-}(aq)$

Moles of iodate ions = $1\times 0.01 mol=0.01 mol$

After mixing of both solution in 250 mL in erlenmeyer flask

Volume of the final solution = 250 mL = 0.250 L

Concentration of barium ions in 250 mL solution :

$[Ba^{2+}]=\frac{0.00075 mol}{0.250 L}=0.003 M$

Concentration of iodate ions:

$[IO_3^{-}]=\frac{0.01 mol}{0.250 L}=0.04 M$

Solubility product of barium iodate, $K_{sp}=4.01\times 10^{-9}$

Ionic product of the barium iodate in solution : $K_i$

$Ba(IO_3)_2\rightleftahrpoons Ba^{2+}+2IO_3^{-}$

$K_i=[Ba^{2+}][IO_2^{-}]^2$

$K_i=0.003 M\times (0.04 M)^2=4.8\times 10^{-6}$

$K_{sp}$ ( precipitation)

As we can see, the ionic product of the barium iodate is greater than the solubility product of the barium iodate precipitation of barium iodiate will occur in 250 mL of final solution.

Describe Bohr’s model of the atom consisted of a central

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

The Bohr model depicts an atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons.These electrons travel in circular orbit around the nucleus similar in structure to the solar system,except electrostatic forces rather than gravity provide attraction.Electron orbit around the nucleus resembles that of planets around the sun in the solar system.

The Bohr model was an improvement on the earlier cubic model(1902),the plum pudding model(1904) the saturnine model (1904) the rutherford model (1911) since the Bohr model is a quantum physics based modification of the Rutherford may source combine the two:the Rutherford-Bohr model

Although revolutionary at the time,the Bohr model is a relatively primitive model of the hydrogen atom compared to the valence shell atom.As an initial hypothesis it was derived as a first order approximation to describe the hydrogen atom.Due to its simplicity and correct results for selected systems.

In 913 Bohr suggested that electrons could only have certain classical motions:

Electrons in atoms orbit the nucleus.
The electrons can only orbit stably,without radiating in certain orbits at a certain discrete set of distances from the nucleus.These orbit are associated with definite energies and are also called energy shells or energy levels.
Electrons can only gives or lose energy by jumping from one allowed orbit to another,absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency (v) determined by the energy difference of the levels according to the plank relation.

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar convalent bonds?

Olin [163]

A. Atoms of chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.
For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
This covalent bond type is called non-polar covalent bond.
In this bond type, there is equal sharing of the electron pair between the atoms and there is no electrostatic charge on the molecule.
