How are electrons similar and different to the planet Earth?

Chemistry
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The planets themselves are composed of several trillions or quadrillions or more atoms. As far as hard science is concerned, it would be really hard to picture them as electrons. Conclusion: It can be said with a great accuracy that our planets are NOT huge electrons.

Rutherford's experiments showed that the mass of atoms was mostly concentrated in a very small region, with charge equal to the atomic number- the nucleus. He absolutely did not show, nor is it true, that electrons orbit the nucleus as if they were planets. That was a guess people made in trying to figure out how to picture the atom.

Given the balanced equation:
Vikki [24]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.

In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.

Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.

Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
