In 1905 Albert Einstein had proposed a solution to the problem of observations made on the behaviour of light having characteristics of both wave and particle theory. From work of Plank on emission of light from hot bodies, Einstein suggested that light is composed of tiny particles called <span>photons, </span>and each photon has energy.
Light theory branches in to the physics of <span>quantum mechanics, </span>which was conceptualised in the twentieth century. Quantum mechanics deals with behaviour of nature on the atomic scale or smaller.
As a result of quantum mechanics, this gave the proof of the dual nature of light and therefore not a contradiction.
atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons
atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.
the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is
Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²
when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes
Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18
the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18
the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.
the answer is 1) Ar
If the two gases has a total pressure of 5.7 atm and one of the gases has a partial pressure of 4.1 the the other one has the pressure of 1.6
