Answer:
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.
Answer: The wire is still copper and does not change by cutting it
Explanation:
Democritus postulated that all materials were composed of these tiny particles called as "atomos".
Daltons postulates are:.
1. All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms.
2. Atoms is indivisible.
3. Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
4. Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
5. Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
6. The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
Thus when copper wire is cut into the smallest possible pieces, the atoms were intact as they are indivisible and all atoms have same mass and chemical properties.Thus the wire is still copper and does not change by cutting it
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
Aluminum is more reactive than iron
but it forms Al-oxide, that form a thin layer on the surface of Al, and protect Al from reaction with water.
Answer: Very unreactive aluminum oxide forms a thin layer on aluminum.
