Rutherford and his colleagues fired a beam of small, positively charged alpha particles at thin gold foil. Some of these alpha p

articles were deflected at angles as they passed through the foil.
What conclusion did Rutherford and his colleagues draw from their results?
A) The atom must contain some neutral charge spread throughout the atom. He called these particles neutrons.
B) The atom must contain some centrally located negative charge. He called this core of negative charge the nucleus.
C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.
D) Thomson's plum pudding model of the atom was correct. The atom contains positive charge spread throughout its structure.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The questions states that some particles were deflected meaning both the nucleus and the particles were the same charge because they repelled. Using common knowledge, we know that the nucleus is positively charged. Using this information, you can immediately eliminate choices A and B. Choice D says that the positive charge was spread throughout its structure. This is false because protons and neutrons are only found in the nucleus. Electrons are the subatomic particles found outside the nucleus, thus you can get rid of choice D, only leaving you with choice C.

If electrons were used in the two slit experiment instead of light, what change would need to be made to the slit spacing in ord
irina [24]
The change that would need to be made to the slit spacing in order to see a diffraction pattern is bending, because in understanding why light behaves like a wave, it is the interference and diffraction were the phenomena distinguish waves from particles but waves are the only one can interfere and diffract while particles do not. The light bends around obstacles or cylinder like waves do, then it is bending which cause and resulted in the single slit diffraction pattern.

Ocean water contains 3.5 nacl by mass. what mass of ocean water in grams contains 45.8 g of nacl
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Mass percentage of sodium chloride(NaCl) in ocean waters = 3.5 %

That means 3.5 g sodium chloride(NaCl) is present for every 100 g of ocean water.

The given mass of sodium chloride(NaCl) is 45.8 g

Calculating the mass of ocean waters that would contain 45.8 g sodium chloride(NaCl):

45.8 g NaCl *\frac{100g ocean water}{3.5g NaCl}

                     = 1309 g ocean water

Therefore, 45.8 g sodium chloride is present in 1309 g ocean water.

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.

What is the formal charge on the hydrogen atom in hbr? use the periodic table as needed?
Westkost [7]
A covalent bond is formed between H and Br
The structure of HBr is as follows
H —Br
Formal charge for atoms are the charges for individual atoms in compounds.
Formal charge can be calculated as follows ;
Formal charge of atom = number of valence electrons -( number of bonds + number of lone pair electrons)
H has 1 valence electron, 1 bond and 0 number of lone pair electrons
Formal charge of H = 1 -1 -0 = 0
H has 0 charge
