Describe the main difference between the Bohr model of the atom and the Rutherford model.

Chemistry

atroni [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The main difference between the two models was about the location of the electron in an atom.

Explanation:

<u>Rutherford described that:</u>

  • The electrons were outside of the nucleus.
  • They were equal in number to the "positiveness" of the nucleus.
  • Also, He randomly placed the negative electrons outside the nucleus.

<u>Bohr improved the Rutherford model:</u>

  • Bohr placed the electrons in distinct energy levels.
  • Electrons only exist in fixed orbitals (shells) and not anywhere in between.
  • Each shell has a fixed energy
  • Rutherford explained the nucleus of an atom, while Bohr was more into the electrons and their energy levels.

Exact Answer:

In the Rutherford model, electrons can exist in any location outside the nucleus.

In the Bohr model, electrons can exist only in certain energy levels surrounding the atom.

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm                    P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L)              L₂ = 12 Liters(L)      

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)                                                                  

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K)          T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=>  increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant    n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.

How many miles can you drive, if your car gets 21.3 miles per gallon and you have 12.0 gallons of gas?
Travka [436]

Answer:

255.6

Explanation:

If you have 12 gallons and get 21.3mpg,

-Multiply 21.3 by 12

-you can travel 255.6 miles before running out of gas.

-If you need to estimate, round up to 256 miles.

Classify each of the following reactants and products as an acid or base according to the Bronsted theory: H3PO4 + C6H5O- &lt;=&
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

Explanation:

Bronsted theory mentioned that acid is the one that donates a proton to another compound and base is the one that receives it.

H₃PO₄   +   C₆H₅O⁻    ⇄      H₂PO₄⁻      +       C₆H₅OH

acid              base              conj. base            conj. acid

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

If we follow the dissociation, the diacid phosphate can donate two more protons, it is still a Bronsted acid, but it can act as an acid or a base. This is called amphoteric.
