Answer:
1. Rutherford did the scattering experiment and observed that some of the rays bounce back. He concluded that there is a mass in which positive charge is concentrated. This marks the discovery of nucleus.
2. J.J Thomson discovered electrons by conducting cathode ray experiment.
3. Dalton postulated that matter is made up of small particles caled atoms
In rubidium oxide - Rb₂O , the ions are Rb⁺ and O²⁻
Rb is a group one element with one valence electron. To become stable it loses its outer electron to gain a complete outer shell.
Electronic configuration of Rb is - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 5s¹
Once it loses its valence electron the configuration is;
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Krypton - Kr
Oxygen electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Once it gains 2 electrons the configuration is - 1s² 2s² 3p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Neon - Ne
<span>At room temperature and atmospheric pressure, nothing happens when the two gasses are mixed. However, at high temperature and pressure (450C, 200atm), in the presence of an iron oxide catalyst, the production of ammonia is thermodynamically advantageous.</span>
The two main types of weathering are material and chemical.
Mechanical weathering is the disintegration of rock into smaller and smaller fragments.
Chemical weathering transforms the original material into a substance with a different composition and different physical characteristics.
Many homeowners treat their lawns with CaCO3(s) to reduce
the acidity of the soil. The net ionic equation for the reaction of CaCO3(s)
with a strong acid, HCl (I chose HCl because it is a strong acid) is CaCO3(s) +2
HCl(aq) → CaCl2(s) + H2O(aq) + CO2(g).
