Fill in the blanks. Lower energy particles can act on an atomic electron for a greater length of time, thus increasing the probability of driving an electron out and causing ionization. Thus are more damaging than .

Which of the following observations indicates that there is a small, dense, positively charged part in the center of an atom? some uncharged particles are scattered by a gold foil. all uncharged particles are attracted towards a gold foil. all positively charged particles pass straight through a gold foil. some positively charged particles bounce back from a gold foil.

Sally is making a model of a magnesium atom with an atomic mass number of 24 for her chemistry class. she has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. she has added 6 neutrons to her model so far. how many more neutrons does she need to add to complete her neutral atom of magnesium?

Amixture initially contains a, b, and c in the following concentrations: [a] = 0.300 m , [b] = 1.05 m , and [c] = 0.550 m . the following reaction occurs and equilibrium is established: a+2b⇌c at equilibrium, [a] = 0.140 m and [c] = 0.710 m . calculate the value of the equilibrium constant, kc.
