What is the source of fuel that is most widely used today?

For each of the bonds listed, tell which atom is more negatively charged a. C--H b. C--N c. C--S d. C--O

blondinia [14]

Explanation:

The atom is considered to be more electronegative , when it has the tendency to get a slight negative i.e. , delta negative charge on it , and the other atom gets a delta positive charge .

In the periodic table ,

As we go left to right in the periodic table , the electronegativity increases ,

and

As we go top to bottom , the electronegativity decreases .

Hence , from the option given in the question ,

a. C--H , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen .

b. C--N , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , nitrogen is more electronegative than Carbon .

c. C--S , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , sulfur is more electronegative than Carbon .

d. C--O , the electronegativity of both the atom is almost the same , but looking at the treads of the periodic table , oxygen is more electronegative than Carbon .

After he conducted cathode ray tube experiments proving the existence of negatively charged particles we now call electrons, Tho

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

In 1904, after the discovery of the electron, the English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom. In this model, the atom had a positively-charged space with negatively charged electrons embedded inside it i.e., like a pudding (positively charged space) with plums (electrons) inside.

In 1911, another physicist Ernest Rutherford proposed another model known as the Rutherford model or planetary model of the atom that describes the structure of atoms. In this model, the small and dense atom has a positively charged core called the nucleus. Also, he proposed that just like the planets revolving around the Sun, the negatively charged electrons are moving around the nucleus.

By conducting a gold foil experiment, Rutherford disproved Thomson's model. In this experiment, positively charged alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source enclosed within a protective lead were used which was then focused into a narrow beam. It was then passed through a slit in front of which a thin section of gold foil was placed. A fluorescent screen (coated with zinc sulfide) was also placed in front of the slit to detect alpha particles which on striking the fluorescent screen would produce scintillation (a burst of light) which was visible through a microscope attached to the back of the screen.

He observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any resistance and this implied that atoms contain a large amount of open space. The slight deflection of some of the alpha particles, the large-angle scattering of other alpha particles and even the bouncing back of a very few alpha particles toward the source suggested their interactions with other positively charged particles inside the atom.

So, he concluded that only a dense and positively charged particle such as the nucleus would be responsible for such strong repulsion. Also, the negatively charged electrons electrically balanced the positive nuclear charge and they moved around the nucleus in circular orbits. Between the electrons and nucleus, there was an electrostatic force of attraction just like the gravitational force of attraction between the sun and the revolving planets.

Later, the Rutherford model was replaced by the Bohr atomic model.

What is the mass of a sample of water that takes 2000 kJ of energy to boil into steam at 373 K. The latent heat of vaporization

zzz [600]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{889 g}}$

Explanation:

The formula relating the mass m of a sample and the heat q to vaporize it is

q = mL, where L is the latent heat of vaporization.

$\begin{array}{rcl}2000 \times 10^{3} \text{ J} & = & m \times \dfrac{2.25 \times 10^{6} \text{ J}}{\text{1 kg}}\\\\m & = & \dfrac{2000 \times \times 10^{3}\text{ kg}}{2.25 \times 10^{6}}\\ & = & \text{0.889 kg}\\\\ & = & \text{889 g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of water is $\boxed{\textbf{889 g}}$}$

What does surface tension mean?

Volgvan

Surface tension, property of a liquid surface displayed by its acting as if it were a stretched elastic membrane. This phenomenon can be observed in the nearly spherical shape of small drops of liquids and of soap bubbles. Because of this property, certain insects can stand on the surface of water.
