John Dalton was a scientist who proposed that all matter consists of atoms. At this stage, no one had yet discovered neutrons and the nucleus. As a result, Dalton's model consisted of a single atom i.e. the atom was the smallest object.
A mass spectrometer is an instrument that is able to see what is inside an atom. Scientists have been able to prove that the item is not the smallest object in the world. Atoms are made up of smaller objects called protons, neutrons and electrons.
We can, therefore, safely conclude that data from mass spectrometry has helped modern scientists to make modifications to Dalton's model. <span>

What causes a substance to change states of matter?

Energy causes a substance to change states of matter. A matter needs energy to melt, evaporate, boil. Remember: Energy has a sudden change, but the temperature remains absolutely the same. An example of a change in energy is when ice is melting.

Hope I helped (:

The charges and sizes of the ions in an ionic compound affect the strength of the electrostatic attraction holding that compound

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

order = SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Comparison of the melting points of compounds is basically dependent on the charge on their cation and anion, the more the charges on the cation and anion, the stronger and greater the force of attraction and as such the melting point will be relatively higher as well.

The ionic radii is also another factor to be considered, the more the distance between ions, the lesser the bond strength and the lesser the melting point.

from the options, in terms of ionic radii SrS > SrCl2 and RbCl > CsBr

also both SrS and SrCl2 have more charges on their ions compared to RbCl and CsBr and as such the arrangement of the highest melting point will be in the order SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr.

How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?

Amanda [17]

It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion ( $N ^{-3}$ ). Hope this helps.
