<span>Gold is  a stable heavy metal that is easily formed into uniform and thin sheets of measurable property. Alpha particles are relatively massive (compared to electrons) and so deflection is less dramatic and more easily measured. This is the property that prompted Rutherford to use alpha particles and gold. </span>
The particles that are positively charged were fired at the gold foil and when it reached that goldatoms’ nuclei, which are also positively charged, the particles were repelled back

How did scientists find out about atoms before technology?
sasho [114]

Answer:

There are three ways that scientists have proved that these sub-atomic particles exist. They are direct observation, indirect observation or inferred presence and predictions from theory or conjecture. Scientists in the 1800's were able to infer a lot about the sub-atomic world from chemistry.

A compound is composed of 58.8% c, 9.8% h, and 31.4% o, and the molar mass is 102 g/mol. what is the molecular formula for this
Ivahew [28]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span>Moles of carbon = 58.8 / 12 = 4.9 </span><span>
<span>Moles of hydrogen = 9.8 / 1 = 9.8 </span>
<span>Moles of oxugen = 31.4 / 16 m= 1.96 </span>
<span>Ratio 4.9 / 1.96 = 2.5 9.8 / 1.96 = 5.0 1.96 / 1.96 = 1 </span></span>

Simplest formula = C5H10<span>


</span><span>I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.</span>

What is/are the product(s) of a neutralization reaction of a carboxylic acid? View Available Hint(s) What is/are the product(s)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A carboxylate salt and water

Explanation:

A carboxylic acid is an organic compound that has general formula RCOOH, where R is a carbon chain. Because it's an acid, the neutralization will happen when it reacts with a base, such as NaOH.

When this reaction occurs, the base will dissociate in Na⁺ and OH⁻, and the acid will ionize in RCOO⁻ and H⁺, so the products will be RCOO⁻Na⁺ (a carboxylate salt) and H₂O (water).
