Here are the answers to the questions based on the content provided:
-
Present in all matter - According to Dalton's atomic theory, atoms are the basic units of matter and are present in all types of matter.
-
Empty space around the nucleus - When positively charged particles, like alpha particles, were directed at gold atoms, most passed through because atoms are mostly empty space with a dense nucleus at the center.
-
Metalloids - The group of elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals is called metalloids.
-
Chemical reactivity of metals increases - As we move down a column (group) of the periodic table, the chemical reactivity of metals tends to increase.
-
Oxygen (O) - Among the listed elements, oxygen is less reactive compared to bromine, sulfur, and selenium because it is located higher in the group of nonmetals.
-
Part 1: Potassium (K) and Rubidium (Rb) - These elements are in the same group (Group 1) as sodium (Na), which means they share similar properties.
Part 2: Calcium (Ca) has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20 neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number, which for calcium is 20. The number of electrons equals the number of protons in a neutral atom, and to find the number of neutrons, you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number, which is 40 for calcium), giving you 20 neutrons (40 - 20 = 20).
-
Compound - When atoms of one type react with atoms of other types, they form compounds.
-
An atom's inability to react with all elements in the same way - This impacts how different atoms can combine to form various compounds.
-
Salt - When an acid reacts with a base, it typically forms a salt and water.
-
H+ will decrease and OH− will increase - Adding a substance with a pH of 11.4 (which is basic) to water will decrease the concentration of H+ ions and increase the concentration of OH− ions.
-
Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H+) when dissolved in water, resulting in a solution with a pH less than 7. An example of an acid is hydrochloric acid (HCl). Bases, on the other hand, release hydroxide ions (OH−) when dissolved in water, resulting in a solution with a pH greater than 7. An example of a base is sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
-
Heterogeneous mixture - A mixture with its different components mixed unevenly is referred to as a heterogeneous mixture.
-
Magnetism - To separate salt and iron, magnetism can be used, as iron is magnetic and can be separated from the non-magnetic salt.
-
A homogeneous mixture with components of varying density - A centrifuge can separate components based on density, making it effective for homogeneous mixtures with different densities.
