Hello.

This experiment proved that atoms are not massive, they have large blanks inside the structure. Therefore, models like Thomsom's and Dalton's weren't good enough to describe the comportment of these units. A model of an atom like a <em>planetary system</em> was elaborated after this.

Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment and the observation was as follows:

  • Most of the alpha particles passed undeflected through the atom proving that most of the atom is empty space.  
  • A certain fraction of alpha particles deflected by 90 degrees that indicated the center of the atom is positive.  
  • Another small fraction of alpha particles deflected by more than 90 degrees that indicated that most of the atom's mass lies in a small volume at the center of the atom.

Calcum chloride contains only calcum and chloride What is the fomula for this compound? fou need the Peodie Table for thia quest
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

CaCl_2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of the group 2 and period 4 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^2.

Chlorine is the element of the group 17 and period 3 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [Ne]3s^23p^5.

Thus, calcium losses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of chlorine and these 2 atoms of chlorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Ca         Cl

2            1

Cross multiplying the valency, We get, CaCl_2

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is CaCl_2.

xenn [34]

Answer

Manual samplers are prone to effects of temperature, speed of wind and air concentrations.

Explanation

Manual samplers face several challenges that can act as drawbacks to obtaining accurate results. They are subjected to effects of sampling duration where long sampling times are needed to obtain adequate mass for detection. Manual samplers face challenges when measuring non-volatile species because particles are observed into the adsorption medium at a slower rate of diffusion.

What inspired Mendeleev to create his organization for the elements
const2013 [10]

Dimitri Mendeleev was inspired primarily by the work of Antoine Lavoisier and his work on writing the first extensive list of known elements. Lavoisier also collaborated in the construction of the metric system and worked to develop a better nomenclature for chemical compounds which parts are still used today.
