Answer:
From Top to Bottom:
- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom
- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element
- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom
- Thomson discovering electrons
- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus
- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud
Explanation:
The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't <em>actually </em>orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!

Answer:
None of the given options
Explanation:
Let's go case by case:
A. No matter the volume, the concentration of Fe(NO₃)₃ (and thus of [Fe³⁺] as well) is 0.050 M.
B. We can calculate the moles of Fe₂(SO₄)₃:
- 0.020 M * 0.80 L = 0.016 mol Fe₂(SO₄)₃
Given that there are two Fe⁺³ moles per Fe₂(SO₄)₃ mol, in the solution we have 0.032 moles of Fe⁺³. With that information in mind we <u>can calculate [Fe⁺³]</u>:
- 0.032 mol Fe⁺³ / 0.80 L = 0.040 M
C. Analog to case A., the molar concentration of Fe⁺³ is 0.040 M.
D. Similar to cases A and C., [Fe⁺³] = 0.010 M.
Thus none of the given options would have [Fe⁺³] = 0.020 M.
Answer:
The first one.

Explanation:
When comparing two fractions with variables like this, it's important to get to the same denominator in order to compare apples with apples and then be able to do not only comparisons but also perform additions/subtractions.
Question is which denominator to use and how to reach it.
In this case, the question and the answer choices do the work for you. The question asks which one is the LEAST common denominator, and the answers show denominators x² and 4x². The smallest of these is x², however, we can't simplify the first fraction to get to the x² denominator, so we'll go for the 4x².
So, the first fraction has already the correct denominator (4x²), we just have to transform the second one.
We multiply it by 1, expressed in a different way. Since we're multiplying by one, we're not affecting the value, just the way it looks.
Let's do it!, to get the denominator to go from x² to 4x², we need to multiply it by 4... so we'll multiply by 4/4 (which is 1, neutral for the multiplication).

And now you have both fractions on the same denominator, without having changed their value, just their looks
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
