Answer:

The plum-pudding model did not identify a central nucleus as the source of a positive charge.

Explanation:

Sir Joseph John Thomson, most popularly known as J J Thomson. He was a famous scientist who was awarded the Noble prize for Physics for his discovery of the subatomic particle, electron.

He placed his famous model of an atom which is known as plum pudding model. He proposed that the atoms are described as the negative particles that is floating within a soup of the diffuse positive charge.

But the main defect of his proposal was that it did not recognized the presence of a central nucleus as a positive charged source.

Rank the following solutions in order of increasing acidity (least acidic to most acidic): I: [H3O+] = 1x10−5 II: [OH−] = 1x10−1
kozerog [31]

Answer: option C) II < III < I

i.e [OH−] < [H3O+] < I

Explanation:

First, obtain the pH value of I and II, then compare both with III.

For I

Recall that pH = -log (H+)

So pH3O = -log (H3O+)

= - log (1x10−5)

= 4

For II

pOH = - log(OH-)

= - log(1x10−10)

= 9

For III

pH = 6

Since, pH range from 1 to 14, with values below 7 to be acidic, 7 to be neutral, above 7 to be alkaline: then, 9 < 6 < 4

Thus, the following solutions from least acidic to most acidic is II < III < I

Which of these is not a covalent molecule?<br> 1. F2<br> 2. CO<br> 3. LiF<br> 4. NH3
beks73 [17]

LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is cooled to its freezing point.
IRINA_888 [86]
Liquids have free and fast moving particles. Liquids do not take a specific shape unless they are enclosed such as in a bottle. Anyway, since they are free flowing when they freeze, their movement becomes very slow. Eventually the particles will not have room to move as they used to and will be held in one place. The particles are still moving but they are only shaking or vibrating in the same place. You can't even tell this movement is happening, and that is what happens when liquid freezes.
