    Who stated that matter is made up of waves and particles?

    • Einstein

    • De Broglie

    • Dalton

    Correct Answer
    A. De Broglie
    Explanation
    De Broglie stated that matter is made up of waves and particles. This concept is known as wave-particle duality, which suggests that particles, such as electrons and protons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties. De Broglie's proposal was based on the observation that particles, like light waves, can diffract and interfere with each other. This concept revolutionized the field of quantum mechanics and laid the foundation for understanding the behavior of subatomic particles. Einstein, on the other hand, made significant contributions to the theory of relativity but did not propose the wave-particle duality concept. Dalton, on the other hand, developed the atomic theory, which describes atoms as indivisible particles.

    As you move down a family or group on the periodic table, the electronegativity decreases because of

    • Shielding

    • Size of the atom

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    As you move down a family or group on the periodic table, the electronegativity decreases because of shielding and the size of the atom. Shielding occurs when inner electron shells partially block the attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the outermost electrons. This reduces the effective nuclear charge experienced by the outermost electrons, leading to a decrease in electronegativity. Additionally, as you move down a group, the size of the atom increases, which also decreases electronegativity. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to the decrease in electronegativity as you move down a family or group on the periodic table.
