- In the following drawing, the green spheres represent atoms of a certain element. The purple spheres represent atoms of another element. If the spheres of different elements touch, they are part of a single unit of a compound. The following chemical change represented by these spheres may violate one of the ideas of Dalton’s atomic theory. Which one?arrow_forwardThese questions concern the work of J. J. Thomson: From Thomson’s work, which particles do you think he would feel are most important in the formation of compounds (chemical changes) and why? Of the remaining two subatomic particles, which do you place second in importance for forming compounds and why? Come up with three models that explain Thomson’s findings and evaluate them. To be complete you should include Thomson’s findings.arrow_forwardA fundamental idea of Daltons atomic theory is that atoms of an element can be neither created nor destroyed. We now know that this is not always true. Specifically, it is not true for uranium and lead atoms as they appear in nature. Are the numbers of these atoms increasing or decreasing? Explain.arrow_forward
- Constant Composition of Compounds Two samples of sugar are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample of sugar produces 18.0 g carbon, 3.0 g hydrogen, and 24.0 g oxygen; the other sample produces 24.0 g carbon, 4.0 g hydrogen, and 32.0 g oxygen. Find the ratio of carbon to hydrogen and the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen for each of the samples, and show they are consistent with the law of constant composition.arrow_forwardWhy is it important to understand atoms?arrow_forwardUranium-235 is the isotope of uranium commonly used in nuclear power plants. How many (a) protons are in its nucleus? (b) neutrons are in its nucleus? (c) electrons are in a uranium atom?arrow_forward
- Thomson and Rutherford helped to show that atoms consist of three types of subatomic particles, two of which are charged. What if subatomic particles had no charge? How would this affect what you have learned?arrow_forwardHow does an atom differ from a molecule? In what ways are they similar?arrow_forwardAverage Atomic Weight Part 1: Consider the four identical spheres below, each with a mass of 2.00 g. Calculate the average mass of a sphere in this sample. Part 2: Now consider a sample that consists of four spheres, each with a different mass: blue mass is 2.00 g, red mass is 1.75 g, green mass is 3.00 g, and yellow mass is 1.25 g. a Calculate the average mass of a sphere in this sample. b How does the average mass for a sphere in this sample compare with the average mass of the sample that consisted just of the blue spheres? How can such different samples have their averages turn out the way they did? Part 3: Consider two jars. One jar contains 100 blue spheres, and the other jar contains 25 each of red, blue, green, and yellow colors mixed together. a If you were to remove 50 blue spheres from the jar containing just the blue spheres, what would be the total mass of spheres left in the jar? (Note that the masses of the spheres are given in Part 2.) b If you were to remove 50 spheres from the jar containing the mixture (assume you get a representative distribution of colors), what would be the total mass of spheres left in the jar? c In the case of the mixture of spheres, does the average mass of the spheres necessarily represent the mass of an individual sphere in the sample? d If you had 80.0 grams of spheres from the blue sample, how many spheres would you have? e If you had 60.0 grams of spheres from the mixed-color sample, how many spheres would you have? What assumption did you make about your sample when performing this calculation? Part 4: Consider a sample that consists of three green spheres and one blue sphere. The green mass is 3.00 g, and the blue mass is 1.00 g. a Calculate the fractional abundance of each sphere in the sample. b Use the fractional abundance to calculate the average mass of the spheres in this sample. c How are the ideas developed in this Concept Exploration related to the atomic weights of the elements?arrow_forward
- Determine whether each statement that follows is true or false. a Dalton proposed that atoms of different elements always combine on a one-to-one basis. b According to Dalton, all oxygen atoms have the same diameter. c The mass of an electron is about the same as the mass of a proton. d There are subatomic particles in addition to the electron, proton, and neutron. e The mass of an atom is uniformly distributed throughout the atom. f Most of the particles fired into the gold foil in the Rutherford experiment were not deflected. g The masses of the proton and electron are equal but opposite in sign. h Isotopes of an element have different electrical charges. i The atomic number of an element is the number of particles in the nucleus of an atom of that element. j An oxygen 16 atom has the same number of protons as an oxygen17 atom. k The nuclei of nitrogen atoms have a different number of protons from the nuclei of any other element. l Neutral atoms of sulfur have a different number of electrons from neutral atoms of any other element. m Isotopes of different elements that exhibit the same mass number exhibit similar chemical behavior. n The mass number of carbon 12 atom is exactly 12g. o Periods are arranged vertically in the periodic table. p The atomic mass of the second element in the farthest right column of the periodic table is 10u. q Nb is the symbol of the element for which Z=41. r Elements in the same column of the periodic table have similar properties. s The element for which Z=38 is in both Group 2A/2 and the fifth period.arrow_forwardYour friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forwardAverage atomic masses listed by JUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9 183 and 80.9 163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.3 1%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.arrow_forward
