In Rutherfords gold foil experiment, what caused the deflection of the positively charged particles?

Chemistry

5 0

Explanation: Rutherford took a gold foil and passed a beam of alpha-particles (carrying positive charge) through it and then he recorded some observations.

He thought that the alpha-particles will pass straight through the foil but to his surprise, some of the particles deflected their path and few of them deflected backward.

He concluded that the atom must have something which is carrying the same charge as that of the alpha particles which made them deflected back.

He finally concluded that the atom consists of tiny, dense and positively charged centre which he later called as nucleus.

what property of the noble gases most likely prevented the gases from being readily/easily discovered?
Vlad [161]

These gases very rarely react, with others and also noble gases are odourless and colourless.

Explanation:

  • Noble gases will not react with anything so that is the reason why they are known as an inert gas.
  • Noble gases are present in group 18 on the periodic table and following the rule of the octet which is they completed their orbital by s2p6 which is the highest energy level.
  • Most elements are discovering through their reactivity with the other elements, commonly with oxygen. In the case of a noble gas, it is difficult for a scientist to work with the gases which have very less or no chemical property in terms of their reactivity.

What makes an element inert?
ozzi

"The inert gases are obtained by fractional distillation of air, with the exception of helium which is separated from a few natural gas sources rich in this element, through cryogenic distillation or membrane separation. For specialized applications, purified inert gas shall be produced by specialized generators on-site. They are often used by chemical tankers and product carriers (smaller not a big as well as the tendency of inert gases vesselshtop specialized generators are also available for laboratories."

How are monosaccharides and polysaccharides structurally different? *NO PLAGIARISM PLS*
Mariana [72]

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are simple carbohydrates that cannot be further hydrolyzed to simpler carbohydrates. They contain between three and six carbon atoms per molecule.

Polysaccharides  are complex carbohydrates . They are condensation polymers derived from very long chains of monosaccharide units.

Structurally, polysaccharides are made up of repeating units of monosaccharides.

A 22.8-gram sample of gas is found to have a volume of 1.5 liters at 287 K and 0.98
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

365.4 g/mol is the molar mass of this gas.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of gas = 0.98 atm

V = Volume of gas = 1.5 L

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = Temperature of gas = 287  K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

(0.98 atm)\times 1.5 L=n\times (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)\times 287K\\\\n=0.06239 mole

Moles of gas = n = 0.06239 mol

Mass of gas = m = 22.8 g

Molar mass of gas = M

0.06239=\frac{22.8 g}{M}

M=\frac{22.8 g}{0.06239 mol}=365.4 g/mol

365.4 g/mol is the molar mass of this gas.
