Answer:
Answer is A) Fermi
Explanation:
Fermi is the expressive unit for nuclear sizes. Fermi = 10^-15 meter.
Answer: 40
Explanation:
= 34 + 5 * 1.2465
= 40.2325
= 40
The number of significant figures in the answer should be the same as the number with the least number of significant figures that any of the digits in the equation have.
32 has 2 significant figures so the answer has to be 2 significant figures which is 40.
Answer:
electrons exist in specified energy levels
Explanation:
In its gold-foil scattering with alpha particles, Rutherford proved that the plum-pudding model of the atom theorised by Thomson was wrong.
From his experiment, Rutherford inferred that the atom actually consists of a very small nucleus, where all the positive charge is concentrated, and the rest of the atom is basically empty, with the electrons (negatively charged) orbiting around the nucleus at very large distance.
However, Rutherford did not specify anything about the orbits of the electrons. Later, Bohr predicted that the electrons actually orbit the nucleus in specific orbits, each orbit corresponding to a specific energy level. Bohr's model found confirmation in the observation of the emission spectrum lines: when an electron in one of the higher energy level jumps down into an orbit with lower energy, the atom emits a photon which has an energy exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two orbits (and this energy of the photon corresponds to a precise wavelength).
