The number of <span>neutrons that are present in its nucleus is 18. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". Mass number minus the atomic number gives the number of neutrons. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.</span>

The answer is option B. 18 ..

(no. of neutrons= mass no. - atomic no. )

Hope it helps !!!

1. Which wave refracts?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

I want to say your answer is A) an ocean wave approaching the shore at an angle. But not 100% sure. I'm so sorry if it's wrong I really tried to figure it out.

Explanation:

Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refaction , or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ( This is what I read on google maybe it'll help you out).

What would happen if a rocket ran out of fuel in the Earth's atmosphere?
nydimaria [60]
It would do exactly what a rock or a frisbee does when you toss it.

After the engines cut off, it couldn't get any more energy from
anywhere, and after that, as it pushed air aside to get through,
and had air molecules scraping against it, those would slowly
rob kinetic energy from it.  Sooner or later it would run out of
kinetic energy, start falling, and it would eventually make either
a big 'SPLOOSH' or else a big 'CRUNCH', depending on exactly
where it returned to Earth's surface.

Suppose you have a toy car made of copper. The car has the mass of 224 grams. What is the volume of your toy car?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Volume = 25 cm^3

Explanation:

We know that the density of any kind of substance or material is equal to:

density= mass/volume\\\\densitycopper= 8.96gram/cm^3\\mass=224grams\\volume=mass/density\\\\volume=224/8.96 = 25 cm^3

Which scientist was the first to conclude through experimentation that atoms have positive charges in their nuclei?
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: Ernest Rutherford </h2>

Ernest Rutherford was a British physicist and chemist of New Zealand origin, who conducted a series of experiments together with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden; where the result led him to propose a new atomic model.

It should be noted that at that time, the "accepted" atomic model was Thomson's raisin pudding atomic model<u> </u><em><u>(electrons with negative charge immersed an the atom of positive charge that counteracted the negative charge of the electrons, like raisings embedded in a pudding)</u></em>, who discovered the electron and formerly was a professor of Rutherford.  

Now, the experiment conducted under the direction of Ruherford at the laboratories of the University of Manchester during the year 1911; was for the purpose of <u>corroborating Thomson's atomic model</u>. To achieve this, a thin metal sheet was bombarded with alpha particles (nuclei of helium gas).

The idea was that these alpha particles, having positive electric charge, were attracted by the atom's negative charges and repelled by the positive charges, and it was expected that they would pass through the thin sheet without hardly deviating. Then, to observe the crash site of the particle, a phosphorescent screen was placed behind and on the sides of the metal sheet.

For according to Thomson's atomic model the positive and negative charges were evenly distributed, the sphere (the atom) had to be electrically neutral, and <u>the alpha particles would pass through the sheet without deviating. </u>

However, the results were surprising:

As expected, most of the particles went through the sheet without deviating.

<h2>But some suffered large deviations and, most importantly, <u>a small number of particles bounced backwards</u>. </h2>

That is:

<h2>The alpha particle beam was scattered (repelled) when it hit the thin metal sheet. </h2>

These facts could not be explained by Thomson's atomic model, so Rutherford developed another, suggesting that:

<h2><em>There is a concentration of charge in the center of the atom (which was later called nucleus) surrounded by electrons. </em></h2>

This new model could explain the proven fact in his experiments that some particles bounced in the direction opposite to the incident particles, because the electrical charge of this nucleus was positive, equal to the electrical charge of the alpha particles.

This is how Rutherford proposed a new atomic model and discovered the existence of the nucleus. However, this was not the definitive model, because on 1913 it was replaced by Bohr's.
