The atomic theory has been revised many times over the last several hundred years. John Dalton described the atom as a solid sph

ere while later scientists such as J.J. Thomson and Ernest Rutherford developed different models of the atom.
Why has the atomic theory changed so much over the last several centuries?
A new scientific method helps scientists form more efficient theories and models.
As new discoveries are made, existing theories are revised or replaced.
The atom has changed over time, and new theories must reflect those changes.

The answer is: As new discoveries are made, existing theories are revised or replaced.

Dalton stated that atom is matter that can not be divided.

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

According to Rutherford model of the atom:  

1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.  

2) Major space in an atom is empty.  

3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.  

4) An atom is electrically neutral.

The reaction of 2-chloropropane with sodium hydroxide can occur via both SN1 and SN2 mechanisms.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Part 1: S_N1 reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have two steps. Firstly, chlorine, a good leaving group, leaves the carbon skeleton to form a relatively stable secondary carbocation. This carbocation is then attacked by the hydroxide anion, our nucleophile, to form the final product.

To summarize, this mechanism takes places in two separate steps. The mechanism is attached below.

Part 2: S_N2 reaction. This is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which we have one step. Our nucleophile, hydroxide, attacks the carbon and then chlorine leaves simultaneously without an intermediate carbocation being formed.

The mechanism is attached as well.

(b) The rate determining step is the slow step. Formation of the carbocation has the greatest activation energy, so this is our rate determining step for S_N1. For S_N2, we only have one step, so the rate determining step is the attack of the nucleophile and the loss of the leaving group.

Consider the following data for five hypothetical elements: Q, W, X, Y, and Z. Rank the elements from most reactive to least rea
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Y Q W Z X

Explanations:

The most reactive element is the element that will displace an element from it compound . The most reactive element will replace the less reactive element in it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Since the reaction occurs the element Y which is more reactive displaced element Q from it compound.

Q+W+ Reaction occurs

The reaction occurs, that means element Q replaces element w from it compound. Element Q is therefore more reactive than element W.

W+Z+ Reaction occurs

The reaction also occurs . This is an indication that element W replaces element Z in it compound. This means element W is very reactive than element Z.

X+Z+ No reaction

There is no reaction here. This is an indication that element X is less reactive than element Z. This is why element X can't displace element Y in it compound.
