Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1E
In Chapter 3, we learned that all matter is composed of atoms. In this chapter, we learned that most common substances are either compounds or mixtures of compounds. How can these both be true? Explain.

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 jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)arrow_forward

(b) How would you describe the shape of the fluorite crystals in the photo?

Do the chemical identities of the components of the mixture change during such a process? Explain.arrow_forwardA student places a sample of a pure metal in a crucible and heats it strongly in air. Data from the experiment are given in the table above. The final mass was determined after the sample was cooled to room temperature. Which of the following statements related to the experiment is correct? (See attached table) a.) The mass of the sample decreased, so physical changes occurred as the metal first melted and then boiled out of the crucible. b.) The mass of the sample increased, so a chemical change occurred when bonds formed between the metal and another substance. c.) There was nothing for the metal to react with, so only a physical change could have occurred. d.) The sample was only heated, so neither a physical nor a chemical change occurred.arrow_forward
