What best describes the kinetic energy of two gas particles before and after a collision?

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body when in motion. It is calculated by 1/2mv² where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity.
Baring in mind that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another (law of conservation of energy) then when two bodies collide the total kinetic energy of the two particles stays the same (kinetic energy is preserved). This is in the case of perfectly elastic collision, however, during inelastic collisions the kinetic energy is transformed to other forms of energy such as heat, sound and energy used in bond breakage.

kramer

Answer:

Thomson  placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery, minus the mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:

The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.

The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.

These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.

While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.

What is an element considered a pure substance?
Alona [7]

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.

CHEM HELP!
sweet [91]

So let's convert this amount of mL to grams:

\frac{13.6g}{1mL}*1.2mL=16.32g

Then we need to convert to moles using the molar weight found on the periodic table for mercury (Hg):

\frac{1mole}{200.59g}*16.32g=8.135*10^{-2}mol

Then we need to convert moles to atoms using Avogadro's number:

\frac{6.022*10^{23}atoms}{1mole} *[8.135*10^{-2}mol]=4.90*10^{22}atoms

So now we know that in 1.2 mL of liquid mercury, there are 4.90*10^{22}atoms present.

What is the difference between a proton, neutron, and electron?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

proton :

a particale or atom containing a postive charge

nuutron

a particale or atom that contains a negative charge

electron :

a particale or atom with a negative chrage.

Explanation:

proton:

a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.

nuetron:

a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

elcetron:

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
