Chemistry

LenKa [72]2 years ago

Answer: An element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons

Explanation:

The # of protons in an atom is what determines what atom it is (hydrogen has 1 proton, helium has 2 protons, etc ...). You cannot change the number of protons in an atom without changing what element the atom is.

The number of electrons in atoms varies greatly because electrons are constantly gained, lost, and shared during chemical reactions.

An isotope is a variation of the same element (so they must have the same # of protons) that have different masses (and therefore a different number of neutrons).

The answer is the fourth choice, "An element with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons"

In the cathode ray tube experiment, J. J. Thomson passed an electric current through different gases inside a cathode ray tube i
Ber [7]

It showed that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.

It showed that all atoms contain electrons.

Explanation:

The experiment carried out by J.J Thomson on the gas discharge tube by passing electric current through a tube filled with many different gases provided a good insight into the structure of an atom.

This experiment led to the development of the plum pudding model of the atom.

  • Cathode rays and it properties were discovered in this set up.
  • It furnished the scientific community with evidences that atoms can be divided into smaller parts.
  • Since atoms now contain some subatomic particles, they can be broken down in like manner into further bits.
  • The cathode rays which were later termed electrons became a fundamental particles known for every atom.

Consider the reaction between a solution of molecule A and a solid block of molecule B. In general, for a reaction to occur, the
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Decreasing the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A

Explanation:

We know that one of the factors that affect the rate of reaction is the concentration of the reactants. The greater the concentration of reactants, the faster the rate of reaction (the greater the frequency of collision between reactants).

Hence, when we decrease the volume of solvent in the solution of molecule A, the concentration of the solution increases and consequently more particles of molecule A are available to collide with particles of molecule B resulting in a higher rate of reaction.
