7 0

Answer: Why is Dalton credited with proposing the first atomic theory if Democritus was talking about atoms almost 2,200 years earlier? because

- Democritus' ideas were not supported by evidence.

- Dalton's theory was the first scientific theory because it relied on scientific investigative processes.

- Dalton's theory was supported by evidence and repeated investigation.

Question 6
Damm [24]

Hey there!

The atomic mass is the sum of the protons and electrons.

The charge of an atom is the difference between protons and electrons.

So, the number of protons is p, and p - 11 = -1.

Add 11 to each side and get p = 10. The atom has 10 protons.

The atom has 10 protons and 8 neutrons, the sum of the two is the atomic mass.

10 + 8 = 18

The atom has an atomic mass of 18.

Hope this helps!

Which ionic compound would you expect to have the highest melting point? a. Al-N b. Fe-O C. W-C
Elza [17]

Answer:

b. Fe-O

Explanation:

A way to predict melting points for ionic compounds is with electronegativity.

Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

The most electronegativity difference (E.D.), the highest melting point, thus:

E.D. Al-N = 3,0 - 1,6 = <em>1,4</em>

E.D. Fe-O = 3,5 - 1,8 = <em>1,7</em>

E.D. W-C = 2,5 - 1,7 = <em>0,8</em>

The most electronegativity difference is from Fe-O, thus, this ionic compound will have the highest melting point.

I hope it helps!
