The correct answer is option A and B

About 300 B.C., Aristarchus suggested that the sun was at the center of the universe because a) the brightness of the planets would change and b) the planets appeared to move among the constellations.

18 centuries before Copernicus, Aristarchus predicted that all planets orbit the sun. In other words, he suggested the Solar System is heliocentric.

Answer:

The reason they don't react is because Elements with full octets are stable, the Elements with no unpaired electrons do not react at all in the decay.

Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Nady [450]

Answer:

Rutherford's experiment, also known as

$\alpha - scattering \: experiment$

supports the existence of neutrons and the nucleus.

Explanation:

In the above diagram, Rutherford was trying to explain his contributions using thin foils of gold and other metals as targets for alpha particles from a radioactive source.

He observed that the majority of particles penetrated the foil either undeflected or with only a slight deflection. But, every now and then an alpha particle was scattered(or deflected) at a large angle..

According to Rutherford, most of the atoms must be empty space. This explains why the majority of alpha particles passed through through the gold foil with little or no deflection. The atoms positive charges, Rutherford proposed are all concentrated in the Nucleus, which is a dense central core within the atom.

Whenever an alpha particle came close to a nucleus in the scattering experiment, it experienced a large repulsive force and therefore a large deflection. Moreover, an alpha particle coming towards a nucleus would be completely repelled and its direction would be reversed. The positively charged particles in the Nucleus are called Protons.

I hope you find this useful... Have a lovely day.

the burning of wood is a chemical reaction between cellulose molecules in the wood and oxygen the products are carbon dioxide an

Sati [7]

Put the wood and excess oxygen in a closed container that contains some device that can create a spark (to start the reaction).

Determine the mass of container + contents.

Start the reaction and, after everything has cooled down, again determine the mass of container + contents.

If the two masses are the same, you have demonstrated that the reaction obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass.
