After Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles, he concluded that the volume of an atom is mostly empty space. Which

observation led Rutherford to this conclusion?
1) some of the alpha particles deflected 180 degrees
2) the paths of deflected alpha particles were hyperbolic
3) many alpha particles were absorbed by gold nuclei
4) most of the alpha particles were not deflected

<span>Option 4 is the correct answer. Rutherford concluded that the atom's volume was mostly empty space because the stream of alpha particles he directed at the gold foil arived at his detection aparatus mostly intact, indicating that relatively few of the alpha particles had been deflected. This follows because if the atom had not been empty space then the alpha particles would have encountered resistance and gone off course.</span>

How do sound waves travel? PLEASE HELP IF YOU WANT BRAINLEIST AND ME TO LIKE URE COMMENT!!

The answer is A. The vibration caused by the waves through the air eventually weaken, which is why sound diminishes easily over distance.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

A gas occupies 200ml at a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and 76mmHg pressure. Find the volume at -3degree Celsius with the pr
sergey [27]

Answer:

184.62 ml

Explanation:

Let p_1, v_1, and T_1 be the initial and p_2, v_2, and T_2 be the final pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas respectively.

Given that the pressure remains constant, so

p_1=p_2 ...(i)

v_1 = 200 ml

T_1= 26 ^{\circ}C = 273+26 =299 K

T_2= 3 ^{\circ}C = 273+3 =276 K

From the ideal gas equation, pv=mRT

Where p is the pressure, v is the volume, T is the temperature in Kelvin, m is the mass of air in kg, R is the specific gas constant.

For the initial condition,

p_1v_1=mRT_1 \\\\mR= \frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}\cdots(ii)

For the final condition,

p_2v_2=mRT_2 \\\\mR= \frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}\cdots(iii)

Equating equation (i), and (ii)

\frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}

\frac{v_1}{T_1}=\frac{v_2}{T_2}  [from equation (i)]

v_2=\frac{T_2}{T_1} \times v_1

Putting all the given values, we have

v_2=\frac{276}{299} \times 200 = 184.62 \; ml

Hence, the volume of the gas at 3 degrees Celsius is 184.62 ml.
