Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atoms are the species which cannot be divided into its constituent particles. These atoms when joined together then they tend to constitute a molecule.

For example, a piece of gold is made up of number of gold atoms.

So, when we cut this gold piece into smaller pieces then its atoms also get separated from each other. But when we separate the gold into tiny pieces that could no longer be divided without losing their gold-like properties then it means that now each of its atoms has been separated out that cannot be divided further.

Thus, we can conclude that you have a piece of gold and you cut it into smaller pieces. If you could continue cutting, you would eventually separate the gold into tiny pieces that could no longer be divided without losing their gold-like properties. These individual component pieces are called atoms.

Answer:

Atoms

Explanation:

An element cannot be broken beyond its atomic level without loosing its characteristics properties.

Properties of electrons, protons and neutrons are same in all atoms, but their number and arrangement in atoms decide the characteristics properties of an element. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and electrons are arranged around it.

Molecules are made of atoms. Two are more atoms of the same or different joined to make molecule.

Therefore, among the given option, option a (Atom) is correct.

solubility of gas solutes in water as temperature increases such as CO2 or O2 gas and explain why using the collision theory.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When a substance is heated, its average kinetic energy increases as the molecules move faster owing to the supply of energy. The solvent molecules are able to collide more frequently with the solute molecules and dislodge them so that the solute can dissolve in the solvent.

However, when a gaseous solute is dissolved in a liquid; as the temperature is increased and solvent molecules are able to collide more frequently with the solute molecules and dislodge them, gas molecules dissolved in the liquid are more likely to escape to the gas phase and not return due to the increase in their kinetic energy.

Hence, solubility of gas solutes in water decreases as temperature increases.

Which pair of compounds are structural isomers of each other? pentane and 2-methyl pentane pentane and hexane hexane and 2-methy
mojhsa [17]
Hexane and 2-methylpentane. If you draw the structures out, you can see that both isomers have 6 carbon atoms and 14 hydrogen atoms. Hence they have the same molecular formula but a different structural formula. I suggest drawing the compounds out for these types of questions to visualise it.
