Why did Rutherford say that bombarding atoms with particles was like “playing with marbles”?

Chemistry

s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Material A has a small latent heat of fusion. Material B has a large heat of fusion. Which of the following statements is true?
Olin [163]
The correct answer would be the first option. Material A having a smaller latent heat of fusion would mean that it will take only less energy to phase change into the liquid phase. Latent of heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed of a substance to phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid.

I wanted known how many of the reaction below is energy released
Tema [17]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

In two reactions energy is released.

1) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂    →    6H₂O + 6CO₂ + heat

It is cellular respiration reaction.It involves the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

2) 2H₂ + O₂   →    2H₂O  ΔH = -486 kj/mol

The given reaction is formation of water. In this reaction oxygen and hydrogen react to form water and 486 kj/mol is also released.

The reaction in which heat is released is called exothermic reaction.

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂
