gold atom during Rutherford's experiment because of this?
Negative charges were concentrated at the center of the atom.
Particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.
Particles that struck the edges of the atom were repelled.
Positive charges were distributed all over the atom.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rutherford gave an experiment which is known as gold foil experiment.

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded it with the alpha particles (carrying positive charge). These alpha particles are also known as  helium nucleus. It is represented as _2^4\alpha.

He thought that these particles will pass straight through the foil, but to his surprise, some of them deflected their path and a few of them bounced back.

From this he concluded that in an atom, a small positive charge in the center is present. Due to this positive charge, the alpha particles deflected their path and some of them bounced straight back from their path.

Hence, the correct answer is particles that struck the center of the atom were repelled.

Why does burned toast taste so bad? Is it a chemical or physical change?
german

Because things that are burnt have been changed into something else like moldy bread thats cooked.

It is chemical change because you cannot unburn something.

How many atoms of San are in 0.796 moles of this element
xenn [34]

Answer:

4.8× 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of San element = 0.796 mol

Number of atoms present = ?

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.  The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.796 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1mol

4.8× 10²³ atoms

"Write the electron Configuration expected for element 113 and the configurations for the two cations it is most likely to form"
arlik [135]

Answer:

Element:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7p¹

Cations:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶5f¹⁴6d¹⁰

Explanation:

The electron configuration is the distribution of the electrons in the sublevels in order of the crescent energy of them. The crescent energy of the sublevels follows the Linus Pauling's diagram, which is attached below. The sublevel "s" comports until 2 electrons, the sublevel "p" until 6 electrons, the sublevel "d" until 10 electrons, and sublevel "f" until 14 electrons.

So, for the element with an atomic number of 113, the neutral atom will have 113 electrons:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7p¹

Thus the element is at the 7 period (the highest level), and group 13 (most energic sublevel p with 1 electron), the group of the aluminum. It needs to lose 3 electrons to be stable and follow the octet rule, but the subshells of the last shell are too far away in energetic order, thus, it most probably to lose the electron of 7p and form a monovalent cation, and can lose the two electrons of 7s to form a trivalent cation:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶5f¹⁴6d¹⁰

A doorknob makes it easier for you to open doors because it is what type of simple machine?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.
