In 1917, Rutherford discovered something new, he bombarded alpha particles on nitrogen gas and noticed that occasionally an oxygen atom is produced. From this he concluded that the alpha particles removes proton from the nucleus (positively charged particle). He named this playing with marbles and he become the first one to split an atom. Thus, by bombarding nitrogen with alpha particles, he observed the production of oxygen, a different element.
Therefore, he said bombarding atoms with particles is similar to playing with marbles.
Answer:
The half life for radioactive can be calculated as:
N /N0 = (1 /2) ^ n
n = T /T half
According to question there are n number of half life are present which would result in remaining amount of element as n.
Explanation:
Sorry if wrong
Activation energy is the energy needed to begin breaking the bonds of reactants and is denoted as option D.
<h3>What is a Reactant?</h3>
These are the substances which take part in a chemical reaction and result in the formation of the product.
The activation energy is required as it breaks the bonds of the reactant thereby resulting in the product being formed. This therefore makes it the most appropriate choice.

Answer:
From Top to Bottom:
- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom
- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element
- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom
- Thomson discovering electrons
- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus
- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud
Explanation:
The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't <em>actually </em>orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!
