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

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.

If the partial pressure of oxygen outside of a cell is 100 mmHg and the partial pressure of oxygen inside of a cell is 25 mmHg,
mrs_skeptik [129]

" There will be a net movement of oxygen from outside the cell to inside the cell " Statement is True.

Explanation:

The partial pressure for oxygen in alveoli is greater under normal circumstances, and oxygen moves neatly into the blood. In addition, the partial carbon dioxide pressure throughout the blood usually is higher, such that carbon dioxide migrate clearly into the alveoli.

The few common molecules which can traverse the cell membrane by absorption (or diffusion of a sort recognized as osmosis) are water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Metabolism is typically oxygen-needed, which is lowest in the cell within the animal and plant, so that net oxygen flows to the cell.

if a standard die is rolled twice what is the probability of getting a perfect square,then a number that is less than 5.
Amanda [17]
There are three perfect squares in a standard die; 1, 2, 4. If there is two standard dies, then the probability of getting a perfect square is 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9. 
There are 4 numbers less than 5 in a standard die, making it 1/4 x 1/4=1/16.
