How did Rutherford discredit Thomson's plum pudding model of an atom?

Chemistry

Dafna1 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

He conducted an experiment using gold foil and alpha particles.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in 1911 performed the gold foil experiment which provided a better outlook to the structure of the atom. In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil and just a few was deflected back.

This observation led Rutherford to propose the nuclear model of the atom in which an atom has a small positively charged centre and electrons moving round it.

Answer:

He conducted an experiment using gold foil and alpha particles.

Explanation:

In his experiment he use the alpha particles (which are positive) emitted by a radioactive element.  If Thomson's plum pudding model was correct, the beam would go straight through the gold foil. But the alpha particles were deflected in all directions, some right back at the source. This suggest that the atom's positive charge was concentrated in a much tinier volume than Thomson imagined

Guess how many water molecules self-ionize in one liter of water! a) 7 moles b) 1 mole c) 10,000,000 moles d) 0.0000001 moles​
Rudiy27

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

This seems like a weird question

Water is held together by covalent bonds. The amount of energy required to break these bonds so that water would split into it's respective ions is pretty high. The chances that any one of the molecules floating in 1L of water get enough energy to spontaneously burst into it's ions is slim to none.

So, D) seems like the most likely answer

What is an alkali metal with fewer than 10 protons in its nucleus?
Trava [24]

Answer:

            Lithium

Explanation:

                  Alkali metals are group of metals which are present in first group of periodic table. As we know atomic number is equal to number of protons contained by a particular element. Therefore, the alkali metals along with there number of protons are listed below;

Alkali Metal                                         Number of Protons

Lithium                                                               3

Sodium                                                             11

Potassium                                                         19

Rubidium                                                         37

Cesium                                                             55

Francium                                                          87

Hence, it is cleared from above table that Lithium is having fewer protons than 10.

A gas sample with a volume of 1,500 cm® is heated from -65 °C to 75 °C. Assuming the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

V₂ = 2509.62 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 1500 cm³

Initial temperature = -65°C (-65 + 273 = 208 K)

Final temperature = 75°C ( 75 +273 = 348 K)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 1500 cm³ × 348 K / 208 k

V₂ = 522000 cm³.K / 208 k

V₂ = 2509.62 cm³

1. Starting with 9.3 moles of O 2 , how many moles of H 2 S will be needed and how many moles of SO 2 will
enyata [817]

Answer:

Moles of H₂S needed = 6.2 mol

Moles of SO₂ produced = 6.2 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ = 9.3 mol

Moles of H₂S needed = ?

Moles of SO₂ produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂      →    2SO₂ + 2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with H₂S.

                  O₂             :           H₂S

                    3             :             2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of SO₂ with both reactant.

                   O₂             :            SO₂

                    3              :               2

                   9.3            :         2/3×9.3 = 6.2 mol      

                 H₂S             :            SO₂

                    2              :               2

                   6.2            :          6.2 mol      

So 6.2 moles of  SO₂ are produced.
