How was Rutherford’s gold foil experiment inconsistent with the plum pudding model of the atom?

5 0

According to the plum pudding model of the atom proposed by J.J. Thomson, the atom was considered to be a positive charge sphere in which electrons (negatively charged) are embedded in order to balance the positive charge.

According to Rutherford’s gold foil experiment, when he bombarded \alpha particles to the gold foil he observed that most of the particles went through, some of them got scattered in various directions, and few are deflected back to the source. Hence, this experiment shows that the plum pudding model was incorrect as; if there was the symmetrical distribution of the charges then all the \alpha particles will pass through without any deflection.

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.

En un recipiente colocamos unos cubos de hielo luego tapamos y observamos que sucede despues de un tiempo
SSSSS [86.1K]

Three questions come along with the given statement. It is in Spanish language:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?


b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?


c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



These are the three answers (in English).



First question:



a) Por qué se humedeció la parte exterior del frasco?



The question is Why did the outside of the bottle get wet?



Answer:



The outside of the bottle get wet because the ice cubes cooled the walls of the bottle, so the air surrounding the bottle also cooled.



The air contains humidity (water) in gas phase. The hotter the air the more the amount of humidity it can retain, the cooler the air the less the amount of humidity it can retain.


Then, when the air close to the walls of the bootle got cooler some of the water in the air became liquid and those are the drops of water that you see in the outside of the bottle.



Second question



b) Por qué el hielo disminuyó su volumen y ahora es agua?



The question is Why did the ice diminish its volume and now it is water?



Answer:




The ice diminished its volume and now it is water, becasue the ice, which is cooler than the surroundings, received heat energy (from the surroundings) and then its temperature increased. At some moment, this temperature reached the melting point of the ice (water) and it started to become liquid.



Third question



c) Por qué puede haber agua en el exterior?



The question is: Why can there be water outside?




Answer:



The water outside is outside since the beginning: it is in the air. You do not see it because it is gas state. When the air close to the walss of the bottle got cooler, part of the water in the air became liquid.

Which of the following best describes what happens when molecular compounds melt? A.) Molecules separate into their component at
Semenov [28]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. When a molecular compound melts, they undergo the process of phase change from solid to liquid therefore m<span>olecules arranged in a regular pattern change to an irregular pattern. Hope this answers the question.</span>

2 icl + h2i2 + 2 hcl is first order in icl and second order in h2. Complete the rate law for this reaction in the box below. Use
OleMash [197]

2 ICl + H2   ----> I2 + 2 HCl

as given that rate is first order with respect to ICl and second order with respect to H2

The rate law will be

Rate = K [ICl] [ H2]^2

b) Given that K = 2.01 M^-2 s^-1

Concentrations are

[ICl] = 0.273 m and [H2] = 0.217 m

Therefore rate = 2.01 X (0.273)(0.217)^2 = 0.0258 M / s
