This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."
Thank you,

Ra, would have the lowest ionization energy. Remember ionization energy increases going up and to the right.

Answer:</h3>
89.88° C
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of gold cylinder as 75 g
- specific heat of gold is 0.129 J/g°C
- Initial temperature of gold cylinder is 65°C
- Mass of water is 500 g
- Initial temperature of water is 90 °C
We are required to calculate the final temperature;
- We know that Quantity of heat is given by the product of mass, specific heat capacity and change in temperature.
<h3>Step 1: Calculate the quantity of heat absorbed by the Gold cylinder</h3>
Assuming the final temperature is X° C
Then; ΔT = (X-65)°C
Therefore;
Q = 75 g × 0.129 J/g°C × (X-65)°C
= 9.675X - 628.875 Joules
<h3>Step 2: Calculate the quantity of heat released by water</h3>
Taking the final temperature as X° C
Change in temperature, ΔT = (90 - X)° C
Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C
Therefore;
Q = 500 g × 4.184 J/g°C × (90 - X)° C
= 188,280 -2092X joules
<h3>Step 3: Calculate the final temperature, X°C</h3>
we know that the heat gained by gold cylinder is equal to the heat released by water.
9.675X - 628.875 Joules = 188,280 -2092X joules
2101.675 X = 188908.875
X = 89.88° C
Thus, the final temperature is 89.88° C
