Ernest Rutherford applies alpha particle towards an atom, some atom showed deflection by smaller angle, very few through large angle and many just passed without any deflection.

His results changed the idea for distribution of positive charges as he concluded almost all the positive charge is in center of the atom (inside nucleus) and it is very heavy than electrons which revolves outside the nucleus

Hope this helps!

What else supports the idea that an exothermic reaction has occurred?
kodGreya [7K]
The main pieces of evidence that an exothermic reaction has occurred is an increase in temperature due to the release of energy, a release of energy in the form of light, or a release of gas.

A chemist has synthesized two new dyes based on the molecular structure of plant-based dyes. The lowest energy absorption line f
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

1. The dye that absorbs at 530 nm.

Explanation:

The dye will absorb light to promote the transition of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital.

The higher the gap, the higher the energy of transition. The energy can be calculated by E = hc/λ, in which h and c are constants and λ is the wavelength.

The equation shows that the higher the energy, the higher the gap and the lower the wavelength.

Therefore, the dye with absorption at 530 nm has the higher HOMO-LUMO gap.

when propene gas (C3H6) is added to bromine liquid, another liquid is produced which has the formula C3H6Br2. what is the chemic
klio [65]

Answer:

C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

Explanation:

The reaction in which C3H6Br2 (1,2-Dibromopropane) is created is:

  • C3H6 + Br2 → C3H6Br2

We can see that the only difference between the product (C3H6Br2) and the known reactant (C3H6) of the reaction is two bromine atoms (Br2). Br2 is diatomic bromine - a molecule we get after combining two bromine atoms. This compound is a red-brown liquid at room temperature, which means that that is the liquid described in your question.

If a frog initially contained 2 grams of carbon-14 and the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years, how much carbon-14 remains in
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5.730 years. 
Using the formula;
New mass = original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives (in this case n=1 ) 
New mass = 2 g × (1/2)^1     
                  = 1 g
Therefore; the mass of carbon-14 that remains will be 1 g
