Which conclusion was drawn from the results of
torisob [31]

Answer;

-(2) An atom is mostly empty space.

Experiment

-Rutherford conducted the "gold foil" experiment where he shot alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. The conclusion that can be drawn from these experiment is that an atom is mostly empty space.

-Rutherford found that a small percentage of the particles were deflected, while a majority passed through the sheet. This caused Rutherford to conclude that the mass of an atom was concentrated at its center, as the tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.

Using the periodic table to locate each element, write the electron configuration of(c) Re.
Aleksandr [31]

Rhenium is a chemical element with the symbol Re and atomic number 75. The electron configuration of Re is [Xe] 6s^{2} 4f^{14} 5d^{5}.

<h3>How to write an electronic configuration?</h3>

1. Identify the given element and its atomic number from the periodic table.

2. Write the electron configuration by the energy level and the type of orbital first, then the number of electrons present in the orbital as superscript.

The easiest way to write the electronic configuration for any element is by   using a diagonal rule for electron filling order in the different subshells according to the Aufbau principle.

The 3 rules for writing the electron configuration in the orbital box diagram are – the Aufbau rule, the Pauli-exclusion rule, and Hund's Rule.

Which of the following statements is true?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The  statement  which is true is

metals  lose  electrons  to become cations

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • metals tends  to loss electrons to attain  noble gas  electrons  configuration.
  • When metal loses electrons they form a  positive charged ions.
  • The positively charged ion is known as  cations.
  • for  example  sodium metal (Na)  loses  1 electron to form   a cation with  a charge  of positive 1 ( Na^+)

A very specific procedure scientists follow when conducting experiments is known as the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Scientific Method.

Explanation:

A scientific method is basically a method or a process when you conduct an experiment. Normally, the process goes like this:

1. You make like a question or something that you want to investigate, it's like the aim of the experiment.

2. You make an experiment and a hypothesis. A hypothesis is basically a guess on how the results of the experiment would turn out. You don't have to be correct for the hypothesis since there is no right or wrong answer.

3. Conduct the experiment. I don't think this needs a detailed explanation since experiments vary from one another.

4. Collect results. The data you collect come in different ways based on your experiment, but it is crucial you get data so that you can answer your question in 1.

5. Make inferences. You can't directly get a conclusion or answer from the results, so inferences are needed.

6. Craft a conclusion or answer. This is the final step when conducting an experiment and the part where you have the answer you needed when you conducted the experiment :)
