How did Thomson measure the charge to mass ratio of the electron? a.He shot helium nuclei into gold foil to measure the nuclei s

cattering against electrons within. b.He passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection. c.He suspended a drop of oil between electrodes to measure the electric field from the electrons. d. He measured very precisely a known quantity of hydrogen atoms and calculated the reduced mass ratio within each atom.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "He passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection".

Explanation:

J. J. Thomson was a notorious scientist that did not only made the discovery of the electron, but he measure its charge to mass ratio. In order to determine this property, Thomson passed cathode rays through a magnetic field and measured the deflection. Cathode rays are actually composed of particles, which are now known as electrons, and its charge to mass ratio is about 10^8 coulomb per gram.

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro
Ulleksa [173]
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

since Mg has a charge of +2 and ClO3 has a charge of 1-, you need 2 ClO3 to cancel out the +2 since 2 ClO3 ions would have a 2- charge

kiruha [24]

Answer:

y = 5cos(\frac{2\pi }{6} x)

Explanation:

You can put that equation into a program like desmos on your browser and take a screenshot or use windows snippet tool.

Equation of a Wave: y = Acos(((2*pi)/B)x)

or

y = Acos(\frac{2\pi }{B} x)

A = Amplitude

B= Wavelength
