Question

indicates a physical change.
atomic theory bohr, democritus and rutherford experiment: write their main points out.
recall they all understood atoms to be the smallest units of matter
bohr model of ca:
rutherford experiment drawing and how nucleus was invented:
density:
what is the volume of an object with the density of 5.4g/ml and mass of 20g.
conversions: convert 10 ml to l.
mixture separation:
what properties are you using to separate, sand, salt and fe filings?
what happens during a phase change in terms of energy? solid to liquid to gas.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Atomic theory summaries:
  • Democritus: Proposed matter is made of indivisible, indestructible tiny particles called atoms; different substances have different atom shapes/sizes.
  • Bohr: Electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed, circular energy levels; electrons absorb/release energy to jump between levels.
  • Rutherford experiment: Fired alpha particles at gold foil; most passed through, some deflected. This led to the discovery of the dense, positively charged atomic nucleus, as deflections showed concentrated positive mass at the atom's center.
  1. Bohr model of Ca: Calcium has an atomic number of 20. Its Bohr model has 4 energy levels: 2 electrons in the first level, 8 in the second, 8 in the third, and 2 in the outermost (fourth) level.
  2. Density calculation: Use the density formula rearranged to solve for volume.
  3. Unit conversion: Use the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 mL.
  4. Mixture separation properties: Use magnetism for iron filings, solubility for salt, and particle size for sand.
  5. Phase change energy: Energy is absorbed/released to break/form intermolecular forces without changing chemical identity.

Answer:

  1. Atomic theory main points:
  • Democritus: Matter is made of indivisible, indestructible atoms; different atoms have different shapes and sizes.
  • Bohr: Electrons occupy fixed, discrete circular energy levels (shells) around the nucleus; electrons absorb or emit energy when moving between levels.
  • Rutherford experiment:
  • Drawing: A source of alpha particles directed at a thin gold foil, surrounded by a fluorescent screen to detect deflected particles.
  • Nucleus discovery: Most alpha particles passed straight through the foil, showing atoms are mostly empty space. A small fraction of particles were deflected at large angles, indicating a dense, positively charged central region (the nucleus) that repels the positively charged alpha particles.
  1. Bohr model of Ca: A central nucleus with 20 protons and 20 neutrons, surrounded by 4 electron shells: 2 electrons in the 1st shell, 8 in the 2nd, 8 in the 3rd, and 2 in the 4th (outer) shell.
  2. Density problem:

Step1: Rearrange density formula for volume

$\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$

Step2: Substitute given values

$\text{Volume} = \frac{20\ \text{g}}{5.4\ \text{g/ml}} \approx 3.70\ \text{ml}$
