False
Although we use many of their ideas to describe atoms today, such as the existence of a tiny, dense nucleus in an atom (proposed by Rutherford), or the notion that all atoms of an element are identical (proposed by Dalton), some of their ideas have been rejected by the modern theory of the atom.
For example, Thompson came up with the plum pudding model to describe an atom, which resembled a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded in it. We know now, however, that atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, dense nucleus.
Another example is Dalton's atomic theory, which stated that atoms are indivisible particles. However, this was disproved by the discovery of subatomic particles.
1. A radical is a reactive intermediate with a single ____________ electron, formed by ____________ of a covalent bond.

3. A: Initiator
4. Treatment of cyclohexene with N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of light leads to ____________ by ____________ intermediates.
4. A: Allylic substitution by radical
Answer:
Option A.
Lower air pressure results in a lower boiling point
Explanation:
This is because in an open system, the lower the pressure the lesser the energy that will be required for boiling point. The is little or no collision of air molecules with the surface of the liquid
But if there is increase in pressure, more energy will be required to get to boiling point because there will be strong collision between air molecules and surface of the liquid.
