Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden's experiment proved that every atom has a nucleus and that this nucleus is of positive charge and contains the most of the mass of the atom. 0.005% of the volume occupied by the electrons is the volume of the nucleus.
A conjugate acid is a conjugate base with hydrogen ions attached to it. In this case, the conjugate base is the carbonate ion, CO₃⁻². This ion can have two hydrogen ions, so the conjugate acid is:
