Metal usually donates electrons. The concept behind this phenomenon is stability. The elements with the most stable electronic configuration are the noble gases in Group 5A. As a result, the other elements donate or accept electrons so that they would be like the noble gases. Since metals are past their nearest noble gas element, they have to shed their electrons. When they do, they become cations which are positively charged ions.

J. J Thomson
Explanation:
<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.
Experiment
In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.
Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory
To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
<u>J. J Thomson</u>
Experiment
In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.
Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory
From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:
- they move in a straight line
- they possess kinetic energy
- they attract positive charges and repels negative charges
Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

C. a change of state. It can be a physical or a chemical state of change.
The answer is 7.33 g.
<span>To calculate this, we will use the the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure of the gas,
V - volume of the gas,
n - amount of substance of gas,
R - gas constant,
T - temperature of the gas.</span>
Since the amount of substance of gas (n) can be expressed as mass (m) divided by molar mass (M), then:
PV = RTm/M
It is given:
P = 0.98 atm
V = 10.2 l
T = 26°C = 299.15 K
R = 0.082 l atm/Kmol (gas constant)
M (H2O) = 2Ar(H) + Ar(O) = 2*1 + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g
m = ?
Since PV = RTm/M, then:
m = PVM/RT
m = 0.98 · 10.2 · 18 / 0.082 · 299.15 = 179.928/24.5303 = 7.33 g
Answer:
Explanation:
Mallabone’s tests suggest there’s no risk the jacket liner will explode or heat up so much that it risks causing burns. The reaction also doesn’t produce acidic byproducts. And because calcium oxide doesn’t react with humidity (water vapor in the air), the liners can be stored for long periods and still work when needed.
Calcium oxide: A substance that gives off heat as it chemically reacts with water. Its chemical formula is CaO (which means each molecule is made up of one calcium atom and one oxygen atom).
Exothermic reaction: A chemical reaction that generates heat as it proceeds. (In Greek, “exo” means outside and “therm” means heat.)
