Before Rutherford's discovery, the accepted atomic model was J. J Thompson's Plum Pudding Model. According to J.J Thompson, the atom is composed of negatively charged particles. They were then called 'corpuscles', but now known to be electrons. Outside of this atom, surrounds a cloud of positively charged electrons to balance out the charge of electrons, which makes the atom neutral. The 'plum' were the electrons, whereas the 'pudding' were the protons.
Through Rutherford's gold foil experiment, he disproved J.J Thompson's theory. Rutherford was very interested in studying the behavior of x-rays, which was then recently discovered by Curie. When he shot a beam of alpha particles (particles with 2 neutrons and 2 protons, or the Helium atom) toward the gold foil, the particles were deflected by a slight angle. He then theorized that these deflections were due to the existence of a dense nucleus inside the atom.
Following Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus, Niels Bohr theorized the planetary model of the atomic structure. According to him, the atom is like a solar system wherein the Sun is the nucleus and the planets are the electrons orbiting around it. The electrons and protons move this way because they are influenced by an electric force due to the difference of their charges.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A chemical formula which represents proportions between the elements present in a compound is known as empirical formula.
When chemical or molecular formula is able to be reduced to smaller whole-number ratio of the elements then both molecular and empirical formulas are considered to be the same.
Relation between molecular formula and empirical formula is as follows.
Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula
where, n is an integer.
Chemical formula of acetic acid is 
.
Chemical formula of formaldehyde is 
. It is the smaller whole-number ratio of molecular formula of acetic acid.
Chemical formula of Benzaldehyde is 
.
Chemical formula of glucose is 
.
Thus, we can conclude that formaldehyde molecules has/have the same empirical formula as acetic acid (
).
When water reaches the surface, it goes through a specific process called, the water cycle.
~Hope this helped :)
First structure is CH₃-CH₃. It is an alkane with two carbon atoms hence it is called ethane.
Second structure is CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃. It is an alkane with four carbon atoms hence it is called butane.
Third structure is CH₄. It is an alkane with one carbon atom hence it is called methane.
Fourth structure is CH₃-CH₂-CH₃. It is an alkane with three carbon atoms hence it is called propane.
Salad would be a mixture because it is not chemically combined, if needed you could physically take it apart. So your answer would be A.)
