- Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?arrow_forwardThe element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: 109 Ag and 107Ag with a mass of 106.905 u. Silver consists of 51.82% 107Ag and has an average atomic mass of 107.868 u. Calculate the mass of 109Ag.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
- A 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_forwardAccording to Rutherfords model of the atom, how many electrons would be found in each of the following atoms? a. sodium, which has 11 protons in its nucleus b. calcium, which has 20 protons in its nucleusarrow_forwardHow many platinum atoms are in a pure platinum ring weighing 4.32 g?arrow_forward
- Average 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_forwardDetermine 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_forwardAtmospheric argon is a mixture of three stable isotopes. 36Ar. 38Ar, and 40Ar. Use the information in the table below to determine the atomic mass and natural abundance of 40Ar.arrow_forward
- Your 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_forwardIndium oxide contains 4.784 g of indium for every 1.000 g of oxygen. In 1869, when Mendeleev first presented his version of the periodic table, he proposed the formula ln2O3 for indium oxide. Before that time it was thought that the formula was InO. What values for the atomic mass of indium are obtained using these two formulas? Assume that oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00.arrow_forwardSeveral compounds containing sulfur and fluorine are known. Three of them have the following compositions: i. 1.188 g of F for every 1.000 g of S ii. 2.375 g of F for every 1.000 g of S iii. 3.563 g of F for every 1.000 g of S How do these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions?arrow_forward
