<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

J.J Thomson was an English scientist who gave the existence of two subatomic particles which are protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles).

He gave a model which was known as plum pudding model.

In his model, he considered that an atom to be a pudding or a bed of positive charge in which negative particles are embedded such as plum on the pudding.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

D is correct.

Another equivalent explanation currently used is the watermelon. Thomson believed (if using the watermelon as an example) that the red part, was some kind of positive matter and the seeds where electrons - electrons stuck to a positively charged matter.

Water vapor is condensed steam. <br><br> True <br> False
adelina 88 [10]

False, because water vapor, water vapour or aqueous vapor, is the gaseous phase of water. It is one state of water within the hydrosphere. Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Unlike other forms of water, water vapor is invisible.

When a connector is marked with "al-cu," the connector is suitable for use with copper, copper-clad aluminum, and aluminum condu
IgorLugansk [536]

When connectors are marked with a combination of metals, it can be used as a connector of one of the metals or an alloy of the two metals. So in this case, since the marking is “Al – Cu” where Al is aluminium and Cu is copper, therefore the answer is:

<span>Yes, it is suitable for use with copper, copper-clad aluminum, and aluminum conductors.</span>

How is weight affected by gravity
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The higher levels of gravity put on an object the more weight the object has. For example someone who weighs say 100 lbs would weigh more if higher amounts of gravity would be applied to them. And less if less gravity was applied. But larger objects will automatically have more gravity applied to them than something smaller due to the gravitational pull needing to pull harder to keep the object to the planet's surface. Hope this helps! :)

Avogadros number is used to determine the number of subatomic particles in an atom. True or false
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Avogadro's number is not used to determine the number of subatomic particles in an atom.

Subatomic particles of an atom are the protons, neutrons and electrons.

The protons are the positively charged particles in an atom

Neutrons do not carry any charges

Electrons carry negative charges.

 The number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom are experimentally determine using spectrometric techniques.
