What is random molecular motion?
It is the unpredictable direction of motion, of which all directions have an equal probability.
What is the difference between the previous models of the atom and the quantum mechanical model?
Previous models were physical models based on the motion of large object. The quantum mechhanical model is a matical model.
What is meant by recoil electron in compton scattering?
when any incident rays or electromagnetic radiation collides with a target then a electron releases from the outer shell of the atom or molecule,having a high wavelength.this is called recoiling of electron in compton effect
The electrical interaction between nucleus and the orbital electron is a force of?
there is nothing called as an electric force...an electron revolves around a nucleus due to the electrostatic fore of attracion between the electron and the proton....any object , to undergo a circlar motion has to experience a centripetal force, which in the case of the atom is provided by the electrostatic force. Actually there is an electric force of attraction between the electron(s) and proton(S)
Which list shows the development of atom models in chronological order?
Plum pudding, Solar system, Electron cloud.
Why don't scientist use physical models to describe or explain electron motion?
Electron motion is a perfect example of how quirky quantum science is. When not being observed, an electron acts like a wave of energy. When being observed, it acts like a particle. So scientists describe the location of an electron as a probability.
What two kinds of electron motion are important in determining the magnetic property of a material?
Orbital and spin motion of electron
What are the two types of motion that the electrons of an atom exhibit?
Electron spin and Electron revolution
Where does the electron in a stationary atom gets energy for its rotatory as well as spin motion?
Motion: Usually from the ambient matter in the form of heat. If the ambient matter is cooler than the atom, the motion will slow down, and if it's warmer, the electron will accelerate. Rotation: The electron is negatively charged and the nucleus is positively charged. Because of this, the electron is magnetically attracted to the nucleus, so the motion will be concentrated around it.
Is molecular motion ordered and predictable?
No, it reflects kinetic energy and is random and erratic
What will happen to the electron if a live wire is cut into two?
electron motion stops in one part , the other part is not affected
What is random molecular motion?
It is the unpredictable direction of motion, of which all directions have an equal probability.
What is the difference between the geocentric and heliocetric models of planetary motion?
Heliocentric is the motion of earth around the sun. Geocentric is the motion of earth rotating about its axis.
What did BOHR assume about the motion of the electron?
Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.
Why are electron always moves around the nucleus?
Due to Uniform Circular Motion.
What do balanced forces do to an object?
Balanced forces keep object in its state of motion (moving or at stop). An objects state of motion can be altered when it is subjected to an unbalanced force. This reflects Newtons first law of motion.
Are reflected waves always inverted?
In many models of wave motion reflected waves are inverted. Some models have another mode.
