The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Which statements are consistent with Dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated? Why?

a. Sulfur and oxygen atoms have the same mass.

b. All cobalt atoms are identical.

c. Potassium and chlorine atoms combine in a 1:1 ratio to form potassium chloride.

d. Lead atoms can be converted into gold.

<u>Answer: </u>The correct options are b) and c).

<u>Explanation:</u>

Some of the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory are:

  • All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms that participate in chemical reactions
  • Atoms are indivisible particles that cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
  • Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties
  • Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
  • Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
  • The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.

For the given options:

<u>For a:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as no two elements can have the same mass. Only atoms of the same element can have the same mass.

  • <u>For b:</u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms of the same element are identical.

  • <u>For c: </u>

This is consistent with the theory as atoms combine in a simple whole number ratio.

  • <u>For d:</u>

The statement is inconsistent with the theory as atoms of one element cannot be changed to atoms of other element.

Hence, the correct options are b) and c).

Compare and contrast an electric generator and a battery??
anygoal [31]
Both generators and batteries both convert a form of energy into electrical energy. In a battery, a chemical reaction takes place which converts chemical energy into electrical energy. In a generator however, many times mechanical energy is being converted into electrical energy. A process called electromagnetic induction can take place in some generator which is where an electromagnet is used to help conduct electricity. hope this helped!!!

Similarities and differences between solids liquids and gases
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Similarities:

All are the forms of matter.

Solid, liquid and gases are made up of ions, atoms and molecules.

They have shape and volume.

Molecules in Liquid and solid are closer to each others.

Liquid and gases can flow very easily.

Liquid and solid both can not compressed very easily.

Differences:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space but liquid and solid's molecules are not move as much easier as molecules of gases can.

The density of gases are very low as compared to the liquid and solid.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other while in liquid and solid they are closer to each other.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules as compared to the liquid and solids.

Solids have definite volume and shape but liquid and gases acquire the shape of container.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other while in liquid molecules are not tightly pack like in case of solid.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
