Liquids A and B form an ideal solution at 30°C, the total vapour pressure of a solution containing 1 mol of A and 2 mol of B is 250 mmHg. The total vapour pressure becomes 300 mmHg when 1 more mol of A is added to the first solution. The vapour pressures of pure A and B at the same temperature are
The atomic structure of an element refers to the constitution of its nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons around it. Primarily, the atomic structure of matter is made up of protons, electrons and neutrons.
Dalton proposed that every matter is composed of atoms that are indivisible and indestructible.
The following are the postulates of his theory:
Several atomic structures of an element can exist, which differ in the total number of nucleons.These variants of elements having a different nucleon number (also known as the mass number) are called isotopes of the element. Therefore, the isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons. For example, there exist three known naturally occurring isotopes of hydrogen, namely, protium, deuterium, and tritium.
