Answer:

The electron cloud

Explanation:

<em>Rutherford’s gold foil experiment</em> showed that the atom consisted of a tiny nucleus inside of a much larger electron cloud.

The diameter of the electron cloud is about 50 000 times that of the nucleus.

Describe the reason why a reaction between two substances comes to an end.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.

Answer: The last electron will be filled in first orbital of 3p sub-shell.

Explanation: Filling of electrons in orbitals is done by using Hund's Rule.

Hund's rule states that the electron will be singly occupied in the orbital of the sub-shell before any orbital is doubly occupied.

For filling up of the electrons in Sulfur atom having 16 electrons. First 10 electrons will completely fill according to Aufbau's Rule in 1s, 2s and 2p sub-shells and last 6 electrons are the valence electrons which will be filled in the order of 3s and then 3p.

3s sub-shell will be fully filled and the orbitals of 3p sub-shell will be first singly occupied and then pairing will take place. Hence, the last electron will be filled in the first orbital of 3p-sub-shell.
