How could an alpha particle pass straight through the metal foil and strike the center of the phosphor screen on the other side

without scattering at all?

It was due to the metal foil in which the alpha particles can't even pass through. This experiment conducted by Rutherford led to the discovery of protons.

Which process is most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers
Sav [38]
I believe Erosion is the process most likely responsible for the removal of the missing parts of the rock layers. Erosion involves the physical action of surface processes that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, then  moved away to another location.

CORO<br> Name three ways that scientists can ensure their results<br> are reliable
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Reliability. When a scientist repeats an experiment with a different group of people or a different batch of the same chemicals and gets very similar results then those results are said to be reliable. Reliability is measured by a percentage – if you get exactly the same results every time then they are 100% reliable.

Explanation:

Sorry, I only got one way.

Assuming the relative rate of secondary hydrogen atom abstraction for the chlorination of propane is 3.9 times faster than the r
Ghella [55]

Answer:

% of n-propyl chloride = 43.48 %

Explanation:

There are 2 secondary hydrogens and 6 primary hydrogens

The rate of abstraction of seondary hydrogen = 3.9 X rate of abstraction of primary hydrogen

probability of formation of isopropyl chloride = 3.9 X 1 (relative rate X relative number of secondary hydrogens)

Probability of formation of n-propyl chloride = 1 X 3 (relative rate X relative number of primary hydrogens)

Total probability = 3.9

% of n-propyl chloride = 3 X 100 / 6.9 = 43.48 %

How does radioactive isotopes decay?
aksik [14]
They can decay through one of three ways: 
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.
