Answer:
C. He shot tiny alpha particles through a piece of gold foil.
Explanation:
In the year 1911, Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment which gave a deeper perspective to the structure of an atom.
He simply collided a thin gold foil with an alpha particle which he generated from a radioactive source. He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil but a few were deflected back. His discovery led to the proposition of the nuclear model of the atom.
Atomic mass Calcium ( Ca) = 40.078 u.m.a
40.078 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
187 g ------------------- ??
187 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 40.078 =
1.125x10²⁶ / 40.078 = 2.808x10²⁴ atoms
hope this helps!
I believe the answer is D
two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. hope this helped.
