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.

How does the chemical formula for water influence its chemical properties?
OLga [1]

The chemical formula is composed of hydrogen and oxygen where the two atoms are bonded through hydrogen bond type of bonding. In this pair, the oxygen is the more electronegative atom hence the electrons are more directed to it. Because of this, this creates electron polarity which affects the chemical property of water.
