Answer:
A. The model could not explain how alpha particles could be deflected at large angles.
Explanation:
The plum pudding model of the atom was proposed by J. J Thomson. He suggested that that an atom is made up of dense particles of electrons surrounded by positive charges.
From the Gold foil experiment carried out by Ernest Rutherford, he noticed that the bulk of the alpha particles targeted at the foil passed through and a little fraction was heavily deflected back.
Rutherford then presented his nuclear model from here. He suggested a massive, dense and tiny nucleus where the protons and neutrons are located. The space outside the mass is dominated by orbiting electrons.
Answer: option C. HF
Explanation: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed. Fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen so the electrons in the bond are more closely associated with the fluorine atom than with the hydrogen atom.
