What did Ernest Rutherford s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
6 0
Rutherford performed gold foil experiment to understand that how negative and positive particles could Co exist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil.

He proposed a planetary model of the atom and concluded following results and demonstrated that,
1. An atom produces a line spectrum.
2. An Electron revolves around the nucleus without any orbits.
3. Since most of the particles passed through the foil undeflected it means that most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty.
4. An Atom as a whole is neutral.
5. The deflection of few particles on the foil suggested that there is center of positive particles in an atom called the nucleus of the atom.
6. The complete rebounce of few particles on the gold foil suggested that the nucleus is very dense and hard.

Which of these elements is this group?
sergey [27]

Answer:

Strontium

Explanation:

In the periodic table, an element with two (2) valence electrons is found on group 2. Group 2 is a group of the periodic table that harbors element called ALKALINE EARTH METALS. As the name implies, they are metals that possess shiny and solid characteristics at room temperature.

Group 2 elements include the following: Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and radium (Ra). Based on the descriptive information in this question, the element being described is a GROUP 2 element. Based on the elements in the option, only STRONTIUM (Sr) is a group 2 element.

Consider two equal-volume balloons under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. One contains helium, and the other con
Olegator [25]

Answer:

1. Number of gas particles (atoms or molecules)

2. Number of moles of gas

3. Average kinetic energy

Explanation:

Since the two gas has the same volume and are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure,

Then:

1. They have the same number of mole because 1 mole of any gas at stp occupies 22.4L. Now both gas will occupy the same volume because they have the same number of mole

2. Since they have the same number of mole, then they both contain the same number of molecules as explained by Avogadro's hypothesis which states that at the same temperature and pressure, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules or atoms.

3. Being under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, they both have the same average kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Now that both gas are under same temperature, their average kinetic energy are the same.
