The given statement is true .

<h3>What is Rutherford’s gold foil  experiment?</h3>
  • A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a favorable charge. Most alpha particles went right around. This showed that the gold particles were mostly space.
  • The Rutherford gold leaf investigation supposed that most (99%) of all the mass of an atom is in the middle of the atom, that the nucleus is very small (105 times small than the length of the atom) and that is positively captured.
  • For the distribution experiment, Rutherford enjoyed a metal sheet that could be as thin as practicable. Gold is the most malleable of all known metals. It can easily be converted into very thin sheets. Hence, Rutherford established a gold foil for his alpha-ray scattering experimentation.

<span>A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds; or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds. The strength of chemical bonds varies considerably; there are "strong bonds" or "primary bond" such as metallic, covalent or ionic bonds and "weak bonds" or "secondary bond" such as Dipole-dipole interaction, the London dispersion force and hydrogen bonding.</span>

Question 5 (1 point)
Marianna [84]

Answer:

P=12.16 atm

Explanation:

Using the formula of ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P= nRT/V

 n= number of moles

 R= Avogadro constant = 0.0821

 T= Temperature in K => ºC + 273.15 K

P= (1.50 moles)(0.0821)( 296.15 K)/ 3.00L

P= 12.15
