John Dalton was the first to record his ideas about the atom; he thought that matter was made up of these tiny particles called atoms which he thought of as tiny spheres that couldn’t be divided.
Then J J Thompson carried out experiments that led him to discover the electron. Putting his discoveries together he settles on the now famous ‘plum pudding model’ that describes the atom as a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded throughout - much like that of currants in a Christmas pudding.
Ernest Rutherford then put together an experiment to test the ideas of the plum pudding model. He fired positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil; most alpha particles went straight through however some were scattered in differing directions. From this he realised that the mass of the atom is concentrated in the centre (now know as the nucleus) and that the nucleus is positive.
The most up to date model as we know it is the idea of the positive nucleus containing protons and neutrons with orbitals containing negative electrons surrounding the nucleus in shells.

At first we thought atoms were just electrons and were negatively charged, but now we’ve learned that is can create different and many more substances.

A photon has an energy of 2.93 × 10 to the power of -25 J. What is its frequency? What type of electromagnetic radiation is this
Svet_ta [14]
You need to know the energy frequency relationship for photons, which is thanks to Max Planck:

Photon Energy = Planck constant x Frequency

Rarranged:
Photon Energy / Planck Constant = Frequency

Planck Constant = 6.63x10^-34

2.93x10^-25 / 6.63x10^-34 = Frequency

Do free electrons appear anywhere in the balanced equation for a redox reaction?
Andru [333]

Yes, free electrons appear in balanced redox reaction equations. However, this is only true for half-reactions. This is because redox reactions primarily involve the transfer of electrons, which are better visualized if explicitly shown in the balanced reactions. In reduction reactions, electrons are placed on the left side of the equation. Oxidation reactions show electrons on the right side of the equation.


Explanation:

A half reaction is either the chemical reaction or reduction reaction part of an oxidoreduction reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the amendment in chemical reaction states of individual substances concerned within the oxidoreduction reaction. Half-reactions are usually used as a way of leveling oxidoreduction reactions.The half-reaction on the anode, wherever chemical reaction happens, is Zn(s) = Zn2+ (aq) + (2e-).

The metal loses 2 electrons to create Zn2+. The half-reaction on the cathode wherever reduction happens is Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- = Cu(s).

Here, the copper ions gain electrons and become solid copper.
