Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.
Answer: Option 4
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.
After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.
This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.
Ok so here is the thing. It is necessary to introduce the atomic number Z into the following equation and the reason for that is that we are not working here with hydrogen (H). It will go like this:
<span>E=(2.18×10^-18 J)(Z^2 )|1/(ni^2 )-1/(nf^2 )| </span>
<span>E=(2.18×10^-18 J)(2^2 )|1/(6 ^2 )-1/(4 ^2 )|=3.02798×10^-19 J </span>
<span>After that we need to plug the E value calculated into the equation. Remember that the wavelength is always positive:</span>
<span>E=hc/λ 3.02798×10^-19 J=hc/λ λ=6.56×10^-7 m </span>
so 6.56×10^-7 m or better written 656 nm is in the visible spectrum
The law of conservation of energy<span>, a fundamental concept of physics, states that the total amount of </span>energy<span> remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that </span>energy<span> can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.</span>
