If atoms are so tiny how do we know they exist

Chemistry

Aleksandr [31]3 years ago

There are three ways that scientists have proved that these sub-atomic particles exist. They are direct observation, indirect observation or inferred presence and predictions from theory or conjecture. Scientists in the 1800's were able to infer a lot about the sub-atomic world from chemistry.

This requires familiarity with the different theories (or concepts) of acids and bases.

On the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that produces an H⁺ ion in water such that the H⁺ concentration increases, and a base is a substance that produces an OH⁻ ion in water such that the OH⁻ concentration increases.

On the Brønsted–Lowry concept, an acid is a substance that donates a proton (which is basically an H⁺ ion) in a solvent, and a base is a substance that accepts a proton in a solvent.

On the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance that accepts an electron pair in a solvent, and a base is a substance that donates an electron pair in a solvent.

The concepts become progressively broader, i.e., the Arrhenius concept is the most restrictive and the Lewis concept is the least restrictive. As a corollary, an Arrhenius acid or base is also both a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base and a Lewis acid or base, respectively; a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base is not necessarily an Arrhenius acid or base, but an Arrhenius acid or base is also a Lewis acid or base, respectively. And finally, a Lewis acid or base may not necessarily be either an Arrhenius or a Brønsted–Lowry acid or base.

So, with the above concepts in mind, we can match the statements in column A with the type of acid or base in column B:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c } 1 & Bronsted Lowry acid \\  2 & Bronsted Lowry base \\   3 & Arrhenius acid \\ 4 & Arrhenius base \\ 5 & Lewis base \\ 6 & Lewis acid\end{tabular}\end{center}

Each atom consists of a central nucleus and several shells that contain electrons. The outermost electrons are called valence el

Explanation:

Not only did outermost electron determine the valence electron, but also <em>periodic</em><em> </em><em>table</em><em>.</em><em> </em>whatever group they fall into in periodic table each valence electrons present in a particular atom e.g K and Ca belong to group 1 and 2 respectively and k has 1 and Ca have 2 in each outermost electron

Silver nitrate bond type
SVEN [57.7K]

Silver nitrate is an ionic bond because it is made up of metal, sliver, and a non-metal, nitrogen and oxygen. It is also a polyatomic ion (you only find polyatomic ions in ionic bonds).

Why do elements such as Neptunium, Plutonium, Californium, Einstenium, Bohrium, Flerovium, Radon, Oganesson, and a few others ha
noname [10]

All the elements you listed share a common trait: they are synthetic, radioactive elements. These elements do not have a stable isotope, so for a radioactive element, its most stable isotope's atomic mass will be listed in parentheses.

One such example would be plutonium. This element has 6 different isotopes with differing half-lives. The most stable isotope for plutonium is plutonium-244, with a half-life of around 80 million years. Therefore, the atomic mass listed for plutonium will be (244).

Air is made up mostly of O2, N2, and CO2. If the total pressure of air is 765mmHg and P(N2) = 0.79 atm and P(CO2) = 0.05 atm, th
Mrac [35]

Answer:

the partial pressure of the O2 is 0.167 atm

Explanation:

The computation of the partial pressure of the O2 is shown below:

As we know that

P = P_N2 + P_O2 + P_CO2

P_O2 = P - P_N2 -  P_CO2

= (1.007 - 0.79 - 0.05)

= 0.167 atm

Hence, the partial pressure of the O2 is 0.167 atm

we simply applied the above formula
