Oxidation is the loss of electrons and it also means adding oxygen,
you can memorise OILRIG which basically means Oxidation Is Loss of electrons while Reduction Is Gain of electrons.

The discovery of the atomic nucleus, or perhaps better stated the development of theory of the nucleus, is credited to Ernest Ru
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Both of the studies said that the mass of the atom is centered in the nucleus, which is positive, and there are electrons (negative particles) orbiting it. So, Rutheford and Nagaoka discovered that the atom can be divisible and it has an empty space.

But, in the model of Nagaoka, the nucleus was huge, and for Rutherford, the nucleus was really small, and the mass was concentrated. By his experiment with the gold sheets, the theory was appropriated. That's why Rutherford is credited with the discovery of the nucleus. Nagaoka was incorrect in his suppositions.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) a, b) A <em>solution</em><em> is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances</em>. The <em>solute</em><em> is the substance present in a smaller amount</em>, and the <em>solvent</em><em> is the substance present in a larger amount. </em>

c) <em>A </em><em>saturated solution</em><em> contains the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature. </em>

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

  • Decomposition reactions
  • Synthesis or combination reaction
  • Single replacement reactions
  • Double replacement reactions
  • Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

  • <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

  • <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

  • <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ →  2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

  • <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two  ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).

A particular radioactive nuclide has a half-life of 1000 years. What percentage of an initial population of this nuclide has dec
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.
