Describe the experimental basis for believing that the nucleus occupies a very small fraction of the volume of the atom.

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]4 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted an experiment in which he took a thin gold particle film on which he passes alpha- particles. He noticed that:

  • Most of the alpha particles get through the film and can be detected by the detector.
  • Around small portion of the alpha particle deflected at small angles.
  • A very very few alpha particle (approximately 1 out of 1 million alpha particles) just retraced their path which means come back from the center.

He concluded that:

<u>Most of the space of the atom is empty and in the center of the atom , there is solid mass which is the cause of the alpha particles to come back. He gave the term nucleus to this solid mass.</u>

1.5 mol of the complex substance carbon dioxide (CO2) is just a few oxygen atoms:
laila [671]

Answer:

9.03 x 10²³atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of CO₂  = 1.5mol

Unknown:

Number of atoms  = ?

Solution:

In a mole of a substance, we have the Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³atoms.

  Using this number, we can determine the amount of atoms in any substance.

If;

       1 mole of CO₂ contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms;

     1.5mole of CO₂ will contain 1.5 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

                                                = 9.03 x 10²³atoms

Which element does the electron configuration 1s22s22p2 represent? B C N K
antiseptic1488 [7]
The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2, then the number of electrons is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. The number of electrons equals the number of protons and this is the atomic number. So, the atomic number of the element is 6.<span> In a periodic table you can find that the element with atomic number 6 is carbon. So the answer is C.</span>

Which choices are layers of the atmosphere?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Thermosphere

Troposphere

Exosphere

Explanation:

The exosphere refers to the farthest region of the atmosphere that gradually fades into space.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of atmosphere. It is the layer where weather changes occur.

The thermosphere is right above the mesosphere but just below the exosphere. It is the layer where photoionization/photodissociation of molecules occurs thereby creating ions. This largely owes to interaction of molecules in this layer with ultraviolet radiation.

The stratosphere is composed of gases. Prominent among them is ozone which serves as a blanket against the sun's ionizing radiation.

The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere but just below the thermosphere. Temperature decreases steadily with height in the mesosphere.
