An element from the periodic table is shown below. What can you determine about the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons o

f this atom? Note: Round 15.999 up to 16.

Answer:

They are all the same = 8

Explanation:

Since the symbol of that atom is not give, we can infer from the given number the nature and kind of element we are dealing with.

The number 15.999 rounded up to 16 is the atomic weight of the atom also called the mass number.

Although not peculiar enough, we are certain that this atom is Oxygen.

 On the periodic table, elements are arranged based on their atomic numbers.

    Atomic number of oxygen = 8 = number of protons

For every neutral atom on the periodic table, the number of protons and electrons are the same

Atomic number of oxygen = number of protons = number of electrons = 8

 Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

What contribution did these scientists make to atomic models of the atom?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Bohr was the first to discover that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

In Part B the given conditions were 1.00 mol of argon in a 0.500-L container at 18.0°C. You identified that the ideal pressure (

Answer:

4,38%

small molecular volumes

Decrease

Explanation:

The percent difference between the ideal and real gas is:

(47,8atm - 45,7 atm) / 47,8 atm × 100 = 4,39% ≈ <em>4,38%</em>

This difference is considered significant, and is best explained because argon atoms have relatively <em>small molecular volumes. </em>That produce an increasing in intermolecular forces deviating the system of ideal gas behavior.

Therefore, an increasing in volume will produce an ideal gas behavior. Thus:

If the volume of the container were increased to 2.00 L, you would expect the percent difference between the ideal and real gas to <em>decrease</em>

guajiro [1.7K]
<span>Raising the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction between the reactants. The kinetic energy of the molecules of the reactants collides more frequently with ach other thereby increasing its reaction. Increasing the concentration of the reactants increases the reaction rate. Adding a catalyst to the reaction increases the rate of reaction of a substance. The catalyst hastens the chemical reaction. </span>

A rod measures 17.2 inches.<br> How many centimeters is<br> this?<br> [ ? ] cm
Rufina [12.5K]

This problem is providing the length in inches of a rod and it is being required to convert it to centimeters. According to the following, the answer will be 43.7 cm:

<h3>Units conversion:</h3><h3 />

In science, we use units conversion to represent measurements in different types of units depending on a specific requirement. To do so, we use conversion factors based on equivalence statements, relating the required unit with the given one.

In this case, the equivalence statement between inches and centimeters is 2.54 cm = 1 in and we can use it to get the answer as shown below:

17.2in*\frac{2.54cm}{1in} \\\\=43.7 cm
