Positively charged protons in the nucleus, hope this helps.

Answer is: Positively charged protons in the nucleus of the gold atom.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

10 kg of ice will require more energy than the released when 1 kg of water is frozen because the heat of phase transition increases as the mass increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the melting phase transition occurs when the solid goes to liquid and the freezing one when the liquid goes to solid, we can infer that melting is a process which requires energy to separate the molecules and freezing is a process that releases energy to gather the molecules.

Moreover, since the required energy to melt 1 g of ice is 334 J and the released energy when 1 g of water is frozen to ice is the same 334 J, if we want to melt 10 kg of ice, a higher amount of energy well be required in comparison to the released energy when 1 kg of water freezes, which is about 334000 J for the melting of those 10 kg of ice and only 334 J for the freezing of that 1 kg of water.

Best regards!

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. It is often called the
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case the answer would be

Water is a polar molecule with positive and negative side

Now since these negative and positives are present in the water molecule . In easy terms when a substance reacts with water .the negative part of water ( oxygen ) reacts with the positive part of the substance and the positive part of the water ( hydrogen) reacts with negative part of the substance .if you look at the reason . Water is held up by one of the strongest attraction forces available .since most substances have weaker attraction forces between them ,therefore water can easily overcome them with its forces. Thus giving it the ability to dissolve a variety of substances

Given the following equation,
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

5 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of HCl = 5 mol

Number of moles of H₂O produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH     →   NaCl + H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of HCl with H₂O.

                          HCl            :           H₂O

                             1               :             1

                             5               :            5

5 moles of water will be produced.
