They hit positive charges in the gold atoms.
As alpha particles are positively charged particles, they will experience repulsion force as soon as they approach positive charges in the center of the atom (in the nucleus).
Also remember that back at Rutherford time, they did not have the right visualization of the atom, they had a model of it like if it was a budding of positive charges and the negative charges are put into them. So this experiment gave a really better and more reliable imagination of the atom structure.

Hope this helps.

Explain how the density of a gas is different from the density of a liquid.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states.

Explanation:

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states. The same mass takes up a bigger volume. This means the gas is less dense. Density also depends on the material.

A thermally isolated system is made up of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper; the aluminum and the copper are in
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

b) It is impossible to tell without knowing the masses.

Explanation:

The temperature change of a substance when it receives/gives off a certain amount of heat Q is given by

\Delta T= \frac{Q}{m C_s}

where

Q is the amount of heat

m is the mass of the substance

Cs is the specific heat capacity of the substance

In this case, we have a hot piece of aluminum in contact with a cold piece of copper: the amount of heat given off by the aluminum is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the copper, so Q is the same for the two substances. However, we see that the temperature change of the two substances depends on two other factors: the mass, m, and the specific heat, Cs. So, since we know only the specific heat of the two substances, but not their mass, we can't tell which object will experience the greater temperature change.

What is absolute zero? What is the temperature of absolute zero on the Kelvin and Celsius scales?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Absolute zero = 0 K or - 273°C

Explanation:

Absolute zero :

 When the entropy and enthalpy of the ideal system reach at the minimum value then the temperature at that condition is known as absolute zero condition.

Absolute temperature is the minimum temperature in the temperature scale.The value of absolute zero is 0 K.

We know that

\dfrac{C-0}{100}=\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

F=Temperature in Fahrenheit scale

K=Temperature in Kelvin scale

C=Temperature in degree Celsius scale

When  K = 0

\dfrac{C-0}{100}=\dfrac{K-273}{100}

\dfrac{C-0}{100}=\dfrac{0-273}{100}

C= - 273°C

Absolute zero = 0 K or - 273°C
