Characterize the size of an atom.

Chemistry

Atoms are the smallest known substance to man, the building blocks of everything, the atoms size usually depends on the electrons, the electrons are what really takes up space.

And my source ( Google ) says :

Because electrons are what take up space in atoms, the result is that the size of the biggest filled orbital determines the size of the atom or ion. Sizes of orbitals depend on the quantum numbers (n = 1, n = 3, etc.) and also on the effective nuclear charge.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

Lilit [14]

Answer:

a, b, c, d

Explanation:

Rutherford’ atomic model is based on the gold foil experiment. In this experiment, beam of alpha rays was bombarded on thin gold foil. He observed that:

Most of the alpha particles passed through thin foil without any deflection.

Few alpha particles deflected by an angle of 90o.

Based on observation, Rutherford concluded that majority of the space inside the atom is empty.

He explained defection of few alpha particles by assuming that most of the mass is concentrated at the nucleus and positively charged.  

Therefore, among given, the correct statements are:

The atom contains a positively charged nucleus.

Positive charge is condensed in one location within the atom.

The majority of the space inside the atom is empty space

The mass of an atom is concentrated at the nucleus

Therefore, the correct options are:

a, b, c, d

Why must the retina be smooth in a living eye
pishuonlain [190]
The cornea does not contain any blood vessels, but instead contains many nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive. That is why a scratch or a loose eyelash is so painful.
