Answer:
All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.
When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.
Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.
Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.
However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:
Answer: To test the properties of the particles, Thomson placed two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles.
Thomson also placed two magnets on either side of the tube, and observed that this magnetic field also deflected the cathode ray. The results of these experiments helped Thomson determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the cathode ray particles, which led to a fascinating discovery−-−minusthe mass of each particle was much, much smaller than that of any known atom. Thomson repeated his experiments using different metals as electrode materials, and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material they originated from. From this evidence, Thomson made the following conclusions:
The cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles.
The particles must exist as part of the atom, since the mass of each particle is only ~1/2000 the mass of a hydrogen atom.
These subatomic particles can be found within atoms of all elements.
While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of the electron disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible. In order to account for the existence of the electrons, an entirely new atomic model was needed.
The answer is: B) Spills in your shop and any releases on pavement or outside should be poured down a drain.
Pouring used oil down a drain can cause damege to environment.
Oil is nonpolar substance and does not dissolve in the water (polar molecule), used oil remain existent in the drain and sewer or in the environment.
Small spills create a cumulative effect with significant impact on the environment.
Untended spills inside a shop can spread to an inside drain connected to the storm sewer system and cause floods.
