How does the electron-cloud model describe electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sav [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. An electron has a high probability of being in certain regions.

Explanation:

In the electron cloud model, there are no electron-orbits around the nucleus but a cloud. This cloud has various densities with respect to distance from the nucleus. The most dense region of the cloud (which is the region close to the nucleus) is where electrons has the highest probability of existence.

The model explains that an electron a greater chance of being in the region closer to the nucleus. Thus, an electron has a high probability of being in certain region of the cloud about the central nucleus. And an electrostatic force exists between the nucleus and the electrons.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

New experimental methods

Technological inventions

Explanation:

A scientific theory is usually not based on speculation. Scientific theories must have a solid empirical basis.

However, experimental methods are limited to the caliber of equipments available at the time in which a theory is formulated. With advancing years, more technological sophistication leads to the invention of new instruments and ultimately, the development of new experimental methods.

These innovations are likely to alter existing scientific theories as new evidences emerge, hence the answer.

In this experiment you are directed to add a limited amount of NaOH (aq) and then an excess amount. A similar strategy will be u
Verizon [17]

The reason for adding a limited amount and then an excess amount is that initially a metal hydroxide may form which becomes soluble when more base is added and the metal complex forms.

In qualitative analysis is a common to add the base in drops and then in excess. When added in drops, the metal hydroxide is formed. This metal hydroxide is often insoluble.

After this metal hydroxide is formed, the base could be added in excess such that the metal hydroxide dissolves in the excess base by forming a complex.

For instance;

CuCl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq)  -------> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Cu(OH)2(s) + 2OH^-(aq) -------> [Cu(OH)4]^2+(aq)
