Answer:

Atom is the smallest particle of matter.

Elements are made up of same atoms.

Atom consist of electron, proton and neutron.

Explanation:

Atom was first discovered by John Dalton.

word "Atom" came from Greek word, that means something that could not split. he explained that atom is indivisible particle.

In the end of 18th century J.J. Thomson put forward a new concept of atom. he said that atom have negative charged particles called electrons but overall atom is neutral.

In 1909 Rutherford with his students discovered positive charged particles and nucleus and said that it is in the center of atom.

He explain a model of atom and said that electrons revolve around a hard core in the center called nucleus.

In 1913 Niels Bohr  explains the atomic spectra and put forward the concept of shells and sub-shells.

So overall Structure of an Atom is

  • consist of Neutrons in nucleus
  • +ve charged protons in nucleus
  • A -vely charged electrons revolving around the nucleus
  • the electron revolve in shells i.e. K, L, M, and N
  • Each shell divide in sub-Shell such as s, p,d and f.

Atom has a specific atomic mass and atomic number

Atomic number = number of protons or electron

Atomic mass = number of protons +  number of neutrons in nucleus.

An electric current can be conducted by _____. a sugar solution rubbing alcohol methane gas a salt solution
VMariaS [17]

The answer is salt water.

Salt water can conduct electricity or we can say that an electric current is conducted by salt water as salt water is a good conductor of electricity when salt that is sodium chloride or NaCl is dissolved in water , positively charged sodium (Na⁺) and negatively charged chlorine(Cl⁻) molecules are set apart by the water molecule so that they can float easily and freely. We can define the conductivity of a substance as the mobility or movement of ions. So as in water, sodium and chlorine are set apart and can move freely so it become a electrolyte that can conduct electricity.
