Copper, because it is the only metal out of all of them. Therefore copper is the only element that can loose electrons to have a positive charge, it is the most likely to become a cation.
I have not learnt this in school yet, but I researched it, and this is what all the websites say.
Hope this helps!

What contribution did these scientists make to atomic models of the atom?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered the electron by experimenting with a Crookes, or cathode ray, tube. He demonstrated that cathode rays were negatively charged. In addition, he also studied positively charged particles in neon gas.

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

The Bohr model shows the atom as a small, positively charged nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. Bohr was the first to discover that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus and that the number of electrons in the outer orbit determines the properties of an element.

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.00 × 10²⁴ atoms Mn

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Numer

[PT] Molar Mass of Mn - 54.94 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.00 \cdot 10^{24} \ atoms \ Mn(\frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Mn})(\frac{54.94 \ g \ Mn}{1 \ mol \ Mn})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 91.2321 \ g \ Mn$
