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.

Chemicals used in a laboratory investigation must be safely discarded. Which method is the safest way to dispose of chemicals at
Tema [17]

Answer:

Disposing of the discarded chemicals can be done by certain sfae methods mention as follows:

Explanation:

Most of the chemical wastes are dispose through the EHS waste program. Organic chemicals and solvents that can not be drain should be closed in a tight fitted container that has label on it as Hazardous waste, including strong acid and corrosive liquids.

Recycling of these chemicals and incineration is also use for the industrial chemical waste under professional guidance. Incineration is the process of burning chemicals in to ash through high thermal burning.

Naphthalene, commonly found in moth balls, is composed of 93.7% carbon and 6.3% hydrogen. The molar mass of naphthalene is 128 g
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

Explanation:

Centesimal composition means that in 100 g of compound we have x g of the element. Therefore in 100 g of naphthalene we have:

93.7 g of C

6.3 g of H

Let's make a rule of three:

In 100 g of naphthalene we have 93.7 g of C  and 6.3 g of H

In 128 g of naphthalene we would have:

128 . 93.7 / 100 = 120 g of C

128.  6.3 / 100 = 8 g of H

We convert the mass to moles, by molar mass:

120 g . 1mol / 12 g = 10 moles C

8 g . 1mol/ 1g = 8 moles H

Molecular formula naphthalene → C₁₀H₈

Empirical formula naphthalene → C₅H₄

(The sub-index of each element is divided by the largest possible number)

Which substance used during photosynthesis does a plant take in from the soil?
Simora [160]

Answer:

the answer is water

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
