Chapter 2 Atoms The Nature of Things

Conceptual exercises
1!br0ken!! Theories are never certain .
2!br0ken!! The ratio between Carbon and oxygen go into formation of carbon monoxide is
3 : 2
ecause oxygen!s coefficient is half of one " so it times # e$uals to 2 . And carbon and
oxygen for formation carbon dioxide are 3 : # .
%. &elium and gold are element . C'2 and C(&)20( are pure compound . *olluted water is
Neither . *ure unpolluted steam is a pure compund .
)2. +es it can . A must be chemical compound " and and C are element . ,or example
Carbon dioxide decomposed become Carbon and oxygen .
)(. The numbers of tons carbon dioxide gas are formed is ) ton because the weights are same .
2- . ,rom a microscopic point of view . The dog follow the convict!s trail by its nose ..t
happens because the atomic particles smelled by its nose and the particle ma/es the
dog /now the convict!s trail so it follows him .
