Rutherford's research was primarily involved with: electron distribution defining the components of nuclei using electromagnetic

Answer is: defining the components of nuclei.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

Rutherford conducted research that led to the first splitting of the atom in a nuclear reaction.

Determine the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by an electron in an electric field of 664 N/CN/C .
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

a=-1.17\times 10^{14} \hspace{3}\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

A charged particle that is in a region where there is an electric field, experiences a force equal to the product of its charge by the intensity of the electric field:

F_e=q*E

If the electric field is uniform, the force is constant and so is the acceleration. Applying the equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, we obtain the velocity of the particle at any time or after having moved a certain distance:

a=\frac{qE}{m} (1)

Where:

E=Electric\hspace{3}field\hspace{3}strength=664\frac{N}{C} \\q=Electric\hspace{3}charge\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}particle\\m=Mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}particle

The electric charge and the mass of the electron are known constants:

q=-1.6\times 10^{-19} C\\m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg

So, replacing this data in the equation (1) :

a=\frac{(-1.6\times 10^{-19})*(664) }{9.1\times 10^{-31} } =-1.167472527\times 10^{14} \approx -1.17\times 10^{14} \hspace{3}\frac{m}{s^2}

The minus sign is due to the fact that the charge is negative, therefore it experiences a force in the opposite direction to the field.

How does a buffer resist change in pH upon addition of a strong acid? The strong acid reacts with the strong base in the buffer
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The strong acid reacts with the weak base in the buffer to form a weak acid, which produces few H+ ions in solution and therefore only a little change in pH.

Explanation:

When a strong acid is added to the buffer, the acid dissociates and furnish hydrogen ions which combine with the conjugate of the weak acid, forming weak acid. The weak acid dissociates to only some extent and can furnish only some protons and there is no significant change in the pH.

Hence, option B is correct.

Gold (Au) is considered a(n)<br><br><br> Compound<br><br> Potatoes<br><br> Mixture<br><br> Element
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Element

Explanation:

The symbol for gold is Au which only has one capital letter. This means that there is only one thing that makes up gold which would make it an element.

hope this helps :)
