3.
A. i. The human population
B. iii. The number of cm in 1 yard.
C. i. the measured value of the speed of light (2.998... × 108 m/s)

4. C.) Matter included particles much smaller than the atom.

5. C.) Thomson

6. D.) Millikan

7. E.) X and Z

8. A.) 𝐵𝑎𝐹2 , Ionic Compound

9. B.) Magnesium Fluoride

10. A. ) Barium Oxide

11.
A.)
According to Dalton:
i. All matter consists of indivisible particles called Atoms.
ii. Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
iii. Atoms with similar elements are the same in shape and mass but are different
from the atoms of other elements.
The postulate needs modification because:
i. Atoms can be subdivided into protons, electrons and neutrons therefore it is
divisible.
ii. An atom can be “destroyed” in certain situations, such as when an atom collides
with another atom made of antimatter.
iii. There are some atoms of some elements that are different in mass called
Isotopes, which makes it unsimilar to each other.
B.)
It is essential to alter the theory of Dalton because science has demonstrated it to
be incorrect. He said the atoms are indivisible components, but Rutherforth's
successive theories demonstrated that three subatomic particles make up a single
atom. Protons, neutrons, electrons

12.
a.) n = 3
b.) l = 2
13. Hund’s Rule states that i.) All Orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before
any orbital is doubly occupied and ii.) All the electrons in singly occupied orbitals
have the space spin.
For Phosphorus, let us say its electric configuration is 1𝑠 2 2𝑠 2 2𝑝6 3𝑠 2 3𝑝3 ,in
which case in Hund’s Rule it’s ground state (3𝑝3 ) will be shown as:

As one can see, the three boxes (3 because it is in p) were first each singly
occupied, only after all three were singly occupied can one begin occupying each
doubly.

14.) Benzene Methanol

15.) They are described as particular atom groupings within molecules, each of
which has its own characteristic properties. They are essential because they are
able to determine the chemistry of many of today's recognized organic compounds.
