Although Rutherford is credited with the famous gold foil scattering experiment, he didn’t actually conduct this experiment hims

elf. It was done by two of his assistants, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden. Do you think it was fair to name the experiment after Rutherford while ignoring the other two scientists? Why or why not? Give credible arguments for your answer

Although he did not do the experiment himself, he had come up with the idea of what to do and how to do it. I think that only Rutherford receiving credit is okay as the assistants did not do anything to contribute to the actual idea of the experiment.
For example, we credit the invention of the iPhone to Steve Jobs, the engineers of Apple, the designers, etc. - those with actual contributions to the invention and the ideas and not the Chinese factory workers - those who construct the iPhone itself.

gregori [183]

Answer:

Niels Bohr proposed a model of the atom in which the electron was able to occupy only certain orbits around the nucleus. This atomic model was the first to use quantum theory, in that the electrons were limited to specific orbits around the nucleus.

Ernest Rutherford is known for his pioneering studies of radioactivity and the atom. He discovered that there are two types of radiation, alpha and beta particles, coming from uranium. He found that the atom consists mostly of empty space, with its mass concentrated in a central positively charged nucleus.

On April 30, 1897, British physicist J.J. Thomson announced his discovery that atoms were made up of smaller components. This finding revolutionized the way scientists thought about the atom and had major ramifications for the field of physics.

What is Dalton's atomic theory?

A theory of chemical combination, first stated by John Dalton in 1803. It involves the following postulates: (1) Elements consist of indivisible small particles (atoms). (2) All atoms of the same element are identical; different elements have different types of atom. (3) Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.

The theory of Democritus held that everything is composed of "atoms," which are physically, but not geometrically, indivisible; that between atoms, there lies empty space; that atoms are indestructible, and have always been and always will be in motion; that there is an infinite number of atoms and of kinds of atoms,

3. A 3.455-g sample of a mixture was analyzed for barium ion by adding a small excess of sulfuric acid to an aqueous solution of
erik [133]

Answer:

Ba\ percentage\ in\ Mass=4.8\%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass of mixture m=3.455g

Mass of Barium m_b=0.2815g

Equation of Reaction is given as

Ba2+ + H2SO4 => BaSO4 + 2 H+

Generally the equation for Moles of Barium  is mathematically given by

Since

 Moles of Ba^{2+} = Moles of BaSO_4

Therefore

 Moles of Ba^{2+}  = \frac{mass}{molar mass of BaSO4}  

 Moles of Ba^{2+} = \frac{0.2815}{233.39}= 0.0012061 mol

Generally the equation for Mass of Barium  is mathematically given by

 Mass\ of\ Ba^{2+} = Moles * Molar mass of Ba^{2+}  

 Mass\ of\ Ba^{2+} = 0.0012061 * 137.33 = 0.1656 g

Therefore

 Ba\ percentage\ in\ Mass = mass of Ba^{2+}/mass of sample * 100%    

 Ba\ percentage\ in\ Mass= \frac{0.1656}{ 3.455 }* 100%

 Ba\ percentage\ in\ Mass=4.8\%

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea
matrenka [14]
B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.

Answers:

1) <span>Breaking Solvent-Solvent Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

2) </span><span>Breaking Solute-Solute Attractions is an Endothermic Process.

3) </span><span>Forming Solute-Solvent Attractions is an Exothermic Process.

Explanation:
                   When a solute is dissolved in solvent it either releases heat or absorbs heat depending upon the the interactions broken and interactions formed. At first, the solvent solvent interactions are broken , this process requires heat which is provided either from external source or is provided by the forming of solute solvent bond forming process which is exothermic.

When the solvent molecules get apart the solute particles enter to form interactions with elimination of heat. So, if the heat required to break solvent solvent interactions is greater than the heat provided by solute solvent interactions formation then the solute will not dissolve at room temperature and vice versa.</span>

What is the mass of and object with a volume of 100 cm3 and a density of 10 g/cm3?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

1000 g

Explanation:

d = m/v

We are given d: 10g/cm3

and v: 100cm3

Plug them into the equation to get 10 = m/100

Then, cross multiply 10x100 to get mass which is: 1000g
