Which conclusion could be made from Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment?

Chemistry
2 answers:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
5 0

The conclusion was that there must be space between the particles of an atom. The way he knew this is because while some of the radiation reflected off of the gold foil, other radiation went right through it.

Answer:

Mass of an atom is concentrated in a positively charged core called the nucleus.

Explanation:

Rutherford gold foil experiment expanded our understanding of the structure of an atom. When positively charged alpha particles were bombarded against a thin gold foil, Rutherford observed that majority of particles passed through the foil undisturbed whereas a small percentage retraced their path.

There were two main conclusions from the experiment:

-Since most alpha particles simply passed through undeviated this suggested that majority of the space inside the atom is empty

- Also, since some of them completely bounced back this suggested that there is a positively charged core in which the mass of the nucleus is concentrated.

If 2.8X10⁻¹⁰% of the atoms of a radioactive isotope disintegrate in 1.0 yr, what is the decay constant of the process?
Marizza181 [45]

Decay constant, proportionality between the size of a population of radioactive atoms and the rate at which the population decreases because of radioactive decay.

<h3>What is decay constant value?</h3>

The rate of disintegration is proportional to the number of atoms at any point in time and the constant of proportionality is called the radioactivity decay constant. The radioactive decay constant for Radium B is approximately 4.3 × 10−4 s−1.

<h3>What is decay constant unit?</h3>

Definition. The decay constant (symbol: λ and units: s−1 or a−1) of a radioactive nuclide is its probability of decay per unit time. The number of parent nuclides P therefore decreases with time t as dP/P dt = −λ. The energies involved in the binding of protons and neutrons by the nuclear forces are ca.
