Answer:

1. Models and theories should explain known fact.

2. Models and theories should enable scientists to make accurate deductions and predictions.

Explanation:

A model involves the use of a physical, conceptual, or mathematical representation to describe a real phenomenon that could not be understood by mere direct observation. It could be in the form of a diagram or picture, aircraft model kit etc.

A theory is a well tested and confirmed phenomenon through repeated observations and experiments. It is a stronger assertion that explains the facts about a phenomenon. Such are not guesses or mere saying, but reliable accounts of some phenomenon in the real world.

Therefore for models and theories to be valid, they must explain known facts and enable scientists to make accurate predictions.

What is a atom of chemistry
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Atom is the smallest particle of matter.

Elements are made up of same atoms.

Atom consist of electron, proton and neutron.

Explanation:

Atom was first discovered by John Dalton.

word "Atom" came from Greek word, that means something that could not split. he explained that atom is indivisible particle.

In the end of 18th century J.J. Thomson put forward a new concept of atom. he said that atom have negative charged particles called electrons but overall atom is neutral.

In 1909 Rutherford with his students discovered positive charged particles and nucleus and said that it is in the center of atom.

He explain a model of atom and said that electrons revolve around a hard core in the center called nucleus.

In 1913 Niels Bohr  explains the atomic spectra and put forward the concept of shells and sub-shells.

So overall Structure of an Atom is

  • consist of Neutrons in nucleus
  • +ve charged protons in nucleus
  • A -vely charged electrons revolving around the nucleus
  • the electron revolve in shells i.e. K, L, M, and N
  • Each shell divide in sub-Shell such as s, p,d and f.

Atom has a specific atomic mass and atomic number

Atomic number = number of protons or electron

Atomic mass = number of protons +  number of neutrons in nucleus.

Be sure to answer all parts. Show the overall reaction for formation of racemic 3−bromohexane from (E)−3−hexene by enterin
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The mechanism for the formation of bromohexane from hexene has been clearly shown in the image attached to this answer.

Hexene is attacked by HBr and a carbocation is first formed as shown. The carbocation is flat and planar. it can be attacked on either face by the bromide ion.

Attack on either faces yields a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomer as shown in the image.

You can use the mechanism shown to fill in the structures.

2. Calculate the mass of solvent in grams in a solution containing 3.0 grams of Tylenol
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

  • <u>83g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1, Formula</u>

  • Mass percent = (mass of solute/mass of solution) × 100

<u>2. Determine mass of solution</u>

Substitute the data and clear the mass of solution:

  • 3.5 = (3.0g / mass of solution) × 100
  • 0.035 = 3.0g / mass of solution
  • mass of solution = 3.0 g / 0.035
  • mass of solution = 85.714g

<u>3. Determine the mass of solvent:</u>

  • mass of solvent = mass of solution - mass of solute
  • mass of solvent = 85.714g - 3.0g = 82.714g

Round to two significant figures: 83 g
