The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat
Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment proved the existence of a small massive center to atoms, which would later be known as the nucleus of an atom. Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden carried out their Gold Foil Experiment to observe the effect of alpha particles on matter.
The molecule have TETRAHEDRAL HYBRID ORBITAL.
SP3 hybridization involves the mixing of one orbital of S sub level and three orbitals of P sub level of the valence shell. All the orbitals possess equivalent energies and shapes. The SP3 orbital has 25% S character and 75% P character. S and P refers to the s and p sub shells.<span />
