This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are call

ed "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Phosphorus is an element found in group 15 of the periodic table, it is one of the element that belongs to nitrogen family.
  • The element phosphorus exhibits allotrophy, namely; white phosphorus, red phosphorus and black phosphorus.
  • <u>Phosphorus, particularly the white phosphorus combines with oxygen so easily that it catches fire automatically. Thus, as a safety precaution, white phosphorus is stored under water in laboratories. </u>
  • <u>It may be also stored in argon, since argon is an inert element which belongs to the noble gases group.</u>
