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.

Which term names enzymes in the body that speed up chemical reactions?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Catalyst speeds up the chemical reactions. Catalyst is the compound that adds to the chemical reaction so that it happen more quickly. Catalyst without being consumed in the reaction accelerates the reaction. It lowers down the activation energy of the transition state and thus accelerates the reaction.

Write one paragraph to explain what circuler motion is?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

When a body moves in a circle with constant speed , it is said to be in uniform circular motion .

Explanation:

  • When an object moves in a circular path , its direction changes at each point .
  • This change in direction result in change of velocity (velocity is vector quantity which changes if direction of the object change) .However speed do not change (it is scalar quantity , not affected by Direction)
  • The Change in velocity produce acceleration ( a = v - u)
  • Hence The object always produce acceleration in uniform circular motion .So, Some force (centripetal force) is needed to keep the object in circular motion.

How do the ionic radii vary within a group of non-metals?
stellarik [79]

Answer: Ionic radii is half the distance between two ions.

Explanation: from top to bottom down an element group, ionic radius increases. This is because a new electron shell is added as you move down the periodic table.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of hydrogen
Mila [183]

Answer:

7.03 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced synthesis reaction

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇒ 2 NH₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 32.5 g of N₂

The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.

32.5 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 1.16 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ needed to react with 1.16 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3. The moles of H₂ needed are 3/1 × 1.16 mol = 3.48 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.48 moles of H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

3.48 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 7.03 g
