Dafna1 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

The charged particles of nucleus are protons while neutrons are neutral having no charge.

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons.

one proton contribute 1 amu to the total weight. There are 20 protons and 20 neutrons in Ca thus its atomic mass is 40 amu.

While the atomic number is 20.

Mark the statement as true or false All of the proposed ideas by Dalton, Thompson, and Rutherford are still used in the modern t
kvv77 [185]

False

Although we use many of their ideas to describe atoms today, such as the existence of a tiny, dense nucleus in an atom (proposed by Rutherford), or the notion that all atoms of an element are identical (proposed by Dalton), some of their ideas have been rejected by the modern theory of the atom.

For example, Thompson came up with the plum pudding model to describe an atom, which resembled a sphere of positive charge with electrons embedded in it. We know now, however, that atoms are mostly empty space with a tiny, dense nucleus.

Another example is Dalton's atomic theory, which stated that atoms are indivisible particles. However, this was disproved by the discovery of subatomic particles.
