One way the modern atomic model differs from Thompson's atomic model is that electrons are no longer scattered throughout an atoms positive matter like chocolate chips in cookie dough. Instead, each electron is outside of the nucleus occupying a specifically
?
A. Atomic number
B. law of conservation of Mass
C. isotope
D. energy level, orbital, or shell
E. Ionic bound
F. endothermic reaction
G. proton
H. atomic mass
I. product
J. carbon cycle
K. atomic theory
Is the answer E?
Oh, my, look at the pictures in your book. D
That was the whole thing about those ionic and covalent bonds, the atoms trying to fill their outer (valence) shells by gaining or losing electrons or sharing them.
Sorry, off for a while.
What was the answer!!!????
Orbital
is it really orbital
No, the answer is not E. The correct answer is D. energy level, orbital, or shell.
To understand why the answer is D, we need to look at the differences between the modern atomic model and Thompson's atomic model.
Thompson's atomic model, also known as the "plum pudding" model, suggested that electrons were scattered throughout an atom's positive matter, much like chocolate chips in cookie dough. This model implied that electrons were distributed uniformly within the atom.
However, the modern atomic model, primarily developed by Niels Bohr and Ernest Rutherford, introduced the concept of energy levels, orbitals, or shells. According to this model, electrons occupy specific energy levels around the nucleus of an atom. These energy levels are sometimes referred to as orbitals or shells, and each energy level can hold a specific number of electrons.
The energy levels are represented by quantum numbers and are often depicted as concentric circles around the nucleus. These energy levels or shells are numbered, typically starting with the numeral 1 for the innermost shell closest to the nucleus and increasing as you move outward.
Electrons fill the lowest energy levels first before occupying higher energy levels. Each energy level can hold a specific maximum number of electrons. For example, the first energy level can hold up to 2 electrons, the second can hold up to 8 electrons, and so on.
So, the correct answer is D. energy level, orbital, or shell.
