Answer:

Generally, these models have shed more light on the field of atom by describing the composition of atoms and how the atom functions . The competition of these models have been able to modify atomic model to it actual description, modification and functionality.      

Explanation:

There have been different models of atoms overtime . The competition between the various models of atom have been able to shed more light on atom and create more theory on the subject of atoms. The well known models of atom are Dalton's atomic model, Thomson's model of the atom , Ernest Rutherford model of atom, Niels Bohr's model and Schrödinger's model of atoms.

Dalton stated that atoms are indivisible and he was able to realize atom of a particular element different from others . That means atoms of the same element are identical. J.J Thompson was able to recognized electrons in atoms  he drew a plum pudding model  of an atom. It shows electron revolves around a positive charge through out a spherical cloud. Rutherford was able to detect positive charge of an atom found in the nucleus of an atom. Bohr's model modified Rutherford's model . He was able to recognized that the electron move or orbit around the nucleus. Schrödinger's  believes electrons moves around the nucleus in cloud and has an uncertain position.

Generally, these models have shed more light on the field of atom by describing the composition of atoms and how the atom functions . The competition of these models have been able to modify atomic model to it actual description, modification and functionality.

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

Definition: A potential path for the flow of electricity with at least one gap in the path that prevents this flow. The gap is u
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Open circuit

Explanation:

An open circuit is simply an electrical circuit that is not complete. In such a circuit, there is a gap and this will not allow the electric current to pass through.

Despite all the elements being complete in the circuit, an open circuit will halt the flow of electric current and will not do deliver the necessary energy it is supposed to.

In such a circuit, the wires are cut of and not connected properly.

The reverse is a closed circuit.
