Answer:

C. That atoms made up the smallest form of matter

Explanation:

The crux of the Dalton's atomic theory is that atoms are the smallest form of matter. He propositioned that atoms is an indivisible particle and beyond an atom, no form of matter exists.

Series of discoveries through time have greatly shaped the Dalton's atomic theory. The discovery of cathode rays by J.J Thomson in 1897 opened up the atom. Atoms were now seen to be made up of some negatively charged particles. Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment proposed the nuclear model of the atom.

Sterling silver contains silver and copper metals. if a sterling silver chain contains 17.6g of silver and 2.40g of copper, what

Bogdan [553]

Answer:- 0.88

Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.

mass percent of Ag = $(\frac{mass of Ag}{mass of alloy})*100$

Mass of Ag = 17.6 g

mass of Cu = 2.40 g

mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

mass percentage of Ag = $(\frac{17.6}{20.0})*100$

mass percentage of Ag = 88%

So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.

Do ionic compounds or covalent compounds conduct electricity

Liula [17]

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.

N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

2. $TiO_2$

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide ( $Sc_2O_3$ ) is an oxide in which $Sc^{3+}$ behaves as cation and $O^{2-}$ behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . $Al_2O_3$

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation $Al^{3+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. $TiO_2$

This is because the charge on the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is greater than that of $Sc^{3+}$ and also the size of the cation $Ti^{4+}$ is smaller than $Sc^{3+}$ . Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
