Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.
J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.
His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.
With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).
J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.
Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).
answer is A
The kinetic theory is used to explain the behaviour of gases.
One of the assumptions states that "a gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving at different speeds".
Your question looks a bit incomplete as you have the same contents in options a) and d). According to your list, I can't see the correct answer, but I can give you one.The difference between the potential energy of the products of the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the enthalpy of the reaction.
