The nucleus of an atom is dense and positively charged. What was observed when positively charged particles were radiated onto a

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.

Whic number of the periodic table is the atomic number and which number is the atomic mass?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The mass number (represented by the letter A) is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Consider the element helium. Its atomic number is 2, so it has two protons in its nucleus.

The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu. By definition, an atom of carbon with six neutrons, carbon-12, has an atomic mass of 12 amu.

Suppose the plates beneath Earth's surface stopped moving.What do you think would happen?Explain your answer.
Amanda [17]
There would be no more earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as the earth's plate are the cause of both these occurrences.(which can be seen as a positive)
However, the plates allow the earth to cool when they move because they cause heat loss.If the plates were to stop moving the earth would have to loose heat another way and since we cant tell how this would happen, it could be very dangerous.
