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

If the crucible originally weighs 3.715 g and 2. 000 g of hydrate are added to it , what is the weight of the water that is lost
dimulka [17.4K]
For this, you need to know 1) the mass of the hydrate and 2) the mass of the anhydrous salt. Once you have both of these, you will subtract 1) from 2) to find the mass of the water lost.

From the problem, you know that 1) = 2.000 g.

Now you need to find 2). You know that your crucible+anhydrous salt is 5.022 g. To find just the anhydrous salt, subtract the mass of the crucible (3.715 g).

1) = 5.022 g - 3.715 g = 1.307 g

Now you can complete our original task.

Mass H2O = 2) - 1) = 2.000 g - 1.307 g = 0.693 g.

Which three temperature readings all mean the same thing?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

C). 373 Kelvin, 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Kelvin and Celsius are related using the equation K = C + 273.

Celsius and Fahrenheit are related using the equation F = (9/5) * C + 32.

This means that Kelvin and Celsius have to differ by 273, in which only B and C fit that description.

Then you can look at the Celsius and Fahrenheit readings from B and C and apply the equation F = (9/5) * C + 32. For B, you take 0 degrees Celsius and substitute it in for C to get F = (9/5) * 0 + 32, in which you get 32 degrees Fahrenheit and <em>not </em>the 212 degrees in answer B. For C, you do the same: F = (9/5) * 100 degrees Celsius + 32 = 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which does agree with the answer. Therefore, it must only be C.

Do plants uptake phosphorus as P?
salantis [7]
In general, roots absorb phosphorus in the form of orthophosphate, but can also absorb certain forms of organic phosphorus. Phosphorus moves to the root surface through diffusion.
