Chemistry
1 answer:
Dafna1 [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C. He shot tiny alpha particles through a piece of gold foil.

Explanation:

In the year 1911, Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment which gave a deeper perspective to the structure of an atom.

He simply collided a thin gold foil with an alpha particle which he generated from a radioactive source. He discovered that most of the alpha particles passed through the thin gold foil but a few were deflected back. His discovery led to the proposition of the nuclear model of the atom.

What is the emperical formula of a compound containing 40.1% carbon and 6.6% hydrogen​
levacccp [35]

Answer:

CH₂

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Percentage composition:

          Carbon  = 40.1%

          Hydrogen  = 6.6%

Unknown:

Empirical formula of the compound  = ?

Solution:

The empirical formula of a substance is its simplest formula.

 Elements                             Carbon                             Hydrogen

Percentage

Composition                           40.1                                     6.6

Molecular mass                        12                                         1

Number of moles                  40.1/12                                  6.6/1

                                                3.342                                    6.6

Divide through by

the smallest                         3.342/3.342                           6.6/3.342

                                                      1                                        2

So the empirical formula of the compound is CH₂

How to know whether something is an "atom" or not? for example
Karolina [17]
A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles. That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons.
