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.

Which state of matter consists of particles that can be partially compressed? Gas Liquid Plasma Solid
son4ous [18]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquid state, particles do have kinetic energy that helps in partially overcoming the intermolecular forces between the molecules. But still the particles are close together and they are able to slide past each other.

So, when we apply pressure on a liquid then its molecules partially gets compressed.

On the other hand, molecules of a solid are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they have definite shape and volume. As a result, solids do not get compressed.

In gases and plasma state of matter, molecules are gar away from each other. So, they are able to get completely compressed when a pressure is applied.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the state of matter which consists of particles that can be partially compressed.

A welding torch produces a flame by burning acetylene fuel in the presence of oxygen. This flame is used to melt a metal. Which
NISA [10]

Answer:

chemical energy into thermal energy

Explanation:

The reaction taking place is as follows

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ = 4CO₂ + 2H₂O + Heat

In this reaction bonds present in acetylene is broken and new bond present in water and carbon dioxide are formed . In the whole process of bond breaking and bond formation , there is net loss of energy and that energy is released as heat energy .

Thus we can say that in the whole process , chemical energy is converted into heat energy .

What is the difference between Mixtures and Compounds? I am trying to study for my Science quiz on Tuesday, and I need to know t
Deffense [45]
A mixture can be separated.  Everything in a mixture keeps it's own properties and are not chemically joined together.  I am not completely sure about the compound.  Although with the cake example, the ingredients have been mixed and kind of "fused" together upon baking. Hope this helps a little. (P.S. trail mix is a good example of a mixture.)
