Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons a

nd protons led to their discovery? Suggest a possible reason why neutrons were the last of the three classic subatomic particles to be discovered.

Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.

Let us differentiate accuracy from precision. Accuracy is the nearness of the measured value to the true or exact value. On the other hand, precision is the nearness of the measured values between each other. So, for precision, select the student in which the measured values are very near to each other. That would be Student III. Now, for accuracy, let's find the average for each student.

Student I: (<span>8.72g+8.74g+8.70g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student II: (</span><span>8.56g+8.77g+8.83g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student III: (</span><span>8.50g+8.48g+8.51g)/3 = 8.50 g
Student IV: (</span><span>8.41g+8.72g+8.55g)/3 = 8.56 g

From the given results, the accurate one would be Students I and II. So, we make a compromise. Even though Student III is precise, it is not accurate. If you compare between Students I and II, the more precise data would be Student I. Therefore, the answer is Student I.</span>

The crystalline hydrate cd(no3)2 ⋅ 4h2o(s) loses water when placed in a large, closed, dry vessel at room temperature: cd(no3)2⋅
Sever21 [200]

The given dehydration equation is,

Cd(NO_{3})_{2}. 4H_{2}O (s) ---> Cd(NO_{3})_{2}(s) + 4 H_{2}O(g)

Cadmiumnitrate tetrahydrate when heated dehydrates releasing the combined water as water vapor. The reaction produces 4 moles of gaseous product water vapor. So, the degree of disorder or randomness increases. Hence, the sign of change in entropy is positive.

This reaction is spontaneous at room temperature even if it is endothermic as the sign of change in entropy is positive.

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water
Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).
