The existence of isotopes violates one of the original ideas of Dalton's atomic theory. Which one?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Colt1911 [192]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

One of the Dalton's postulates states that:

The atoms of same element are similar in the shape and the mass and other properties but different from atoms of other elements.

But the existence of isotopes violates this postulate because isotopes are the species which have same atomic number but different atomic mass. <u>For example, carbon exist in three isotopes which are C-12, C-13 and C-14 and have different mass and some properties and is a contradiction of this postulate.</u>

How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.

The length of a vector arrow represents its magnitude and the point represents its direction
Viefleur [7K]

The answer is: True.

The magnitude of a vector is represented by the length of the arrow.

The arrow length is drawn according a chosen scale.

For example, the diagram shows a vector with a magnitude of 100 kilometers, if the scale used for constructing the diagram is 1 cm = 10 km, the vector arrow is drawn with a length of 10 cm.

The arrow has an obvious tail and arrowhead. The arrow points in the precise direction.

Consider the balanced equation below. 8H2 + S8 Right arrow. 8H2S Based on the mole ratios, what can most likely be predicted? 1
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

8 mol of hydrogen will react with 1 mol of sulfur.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

This is given below:

8H2 + S8 —> 8H2S

Now, let us carefully observe the mole ratio of the reactants.

This is illustrated:

The mole ratio of the reactants ( i.e H2 and S8) is 8 : 1

From the balanced equation above,

We can thus, concluded that:

8 moles of H2 will reacted with 1 mole of S8.
