Answer:

The distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Explanation:

We have the average distance across the Atlantic ocean, d_i=3700\ mi

the average distance to the moon, d_m=238,900\ mi

The factor by which the distance to moon is greater than the width of Atlantic ocean:

f=\frac{d_m}{d_i}

f=\frac{238,900}{3700}

f=64.57

i.e.

the distance to the moon greater than the distance across the Atlantic ocean by an order of 1.

Which electrode in Thomson’s vacuum tube was positively charged
Taya2010 [7]

Anode

Explanation:

The anode in the gas discharge tube used by Thomson in his experiment was the positively charged electrode.

Using the gas discharge tube, Thomson made the remarkable discovery of cathode rays.

The rays moves from the negatively charged cathode to the positively charged anode. This indicated that the rays carry positive charges.

Some parts of the tube are:

  • Cathode - negatively charged electrode
  • Power source
  • Gas at low pressure
  • Outlet to vacuum pump

Explain what each quantum number in a quantum number set tells you about the electron. Compare and contrast the locations and pr
Allisa [31]
There are four quantum numbers:
1) Principal quantum number which tells the shell in which the electron is and is an integer number starting from 1. Both of these electrons are in the same shell, the third.

2) Azimuthal quantum number which tells the subshell of the electron. This has a value of an integer starting from 0, 0 being the s orbital. The first electron is in the d orbital due to the number being 2 and the second is in the p orbital due to the number being 1.

3) Magnetic quantum number tells the orbital within the subshell. The first electron is in the -1 orbital of the d subshell (which has values from -2 to 2) and the second is in the -1 orbital of the p subshell (which has values from -1 to 1).

4) Spin quantum number which specifies the spin on the electron, both of the electrons have the same spin.
