Answer: alpha particles bouncing off gold foil

Explanation:

Rutherford gave an experiment known as gold foil experiment.

In his experiment, he took a gold foil and bombarded it with alpha particles which are basically helium nuclei carrying positive charge. He thought that the particles will pass straight through the foil, but to his surprise, many of them passed through, some of them deflected their path and a few of them bounced back.

From this he concluded that in an atom, there exist a small positive charge in the center. Due to this positive charge, the alpha particles deflected their path and some of them bounced straight back their path as like repels like.

Bohr in his structure of atom explained that electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbit or shell or energy levels.These energy levels are stable and have fixed energy values.  When an electron absorbs energy , it moves to a higher energy state and when gets back to its original ground state, it emits energy which gives the line spectra.

All animals in phylum chordata share which of the following features?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

All animals in the phylum Chordata share some key features that appear at some stage during their development 1) notochord 2) dorsal hollow nerve cord 3) pharyngeal slits

Explanation:

Phylum chordata is probably the most notable phylum.The most distinguishing character that all animals belonging to this phylum have is the presence of notochord. Phylum Chordata is again divided into three subphyla. They are:

Urochordata

Cephalaochordata

Vertebrata

Chordates show following features, at different stages in their life. They are:

Notochord: It is a longitudinal rod that is made of cartilage and runs between the nerve cord and the digestive tract. Its main function is to support the nerve cord. In Vertebrate animals, the vertebral column replaces the notochord.

Dorsal Nerve Cord : This is a bundle of nerve fibres which connects the brain to the muscles and other organs.

Pharyngeal slits: They are the openings which connect the mouth and the throat. These openings allow the entry of water through the mouth, without entering the digestive system.

MrRa [10]
The answer is D) Neither boy is right. The car will move in the opposite direction, to the left. When he taped the straw and balloon to face toward the right, this will indicate the the air flow will go to the right side making the car move in the left side.
