Answer:

D.)Most of the mass of an atom is located in the nucleus.

Explanation:

Rutherford conducted his famous gold foil experiment which refined our understanding of the structure of an atom. Through the experiment he observed that when positively charged alpha particles were bombarded against a thin gold foil, majority of them passed through the foil undisturbed whereas a small percentage retraced their path.

There were two main conclusions:

-Since most alpha particles simply passed through undeviated this suggested that majority of the space inside the atom is empty

- Also, since some of them completely bounced back this suggested that there is a positively charged core in which the mass of the nucleus is concentrated.

meriva
It shows that the population is moving towards a more organic and natural way of growing crops. Rather than using fertilizer and putting toxins on the plants that we eat from, we are getting smarter and growing food naturally. Thus not killing ourselves in the process.
