<span>The expected results of the Rutherford's gold foil experiment were that the relative massive alpha particles (respect to electrons) could go through the gold foil without being deviated of their trajectory or only small deviations due to the uniformly distributed positive charge of the protons. The real results showed that some particles were significantly deviated of the trajectory (large deviation angles and even some particles bounced back to the source). This lead Rutherford to reject the plum pudding model and propose a new one. The new model proposed by Rutherford was that the atom consisted of a small and every dense nucleus (which contained the positive charge, protons) and a vast region, almost empty, but where the electrons were, surrounding the nucleus.</span><span />

Thomson hypotheses were tested by Rutherford by devising his gold foil experiment.  Rutherford thought that if Thomas model was correct and accurate, then it means the mass of the atom were scattered within the atom.  He also reasoned that if he shot alpha particles (helium nuclei) at an atom, there would be too little to deflect alpha particles.  

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Rutherford further tested Thomson hypotheses by using a thin film of gold atoms. The outcome of the experiment took Rutherford by surprise because many of the alpha particles (helium nuclei) went through the gold foil and some alpha particles bounced back.  

The outcome of the experiment was not in line with Thomson model. Rutherford dropped the plum pudding model and reasoned that alpha particles could be deflected backward only if the mass within an atom is present in a nucleus.  

The component of atoms has been discovered as back as 1911 and it is made up of subatomic particles known as protons and electrons. How these electrons and protons were organized within the atom was very unclear. However, J.J. Thomson proposed what he called a “plum pudding model. The plum pudding model detailed how the electrons and protons are mixed within the atom.

mart [117]

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

<h3>Hydrogen bond</h3>

Hydrogen bonding is an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom found between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons.

Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other creating cohesion.

It takes so much heat to melt ice or evaporate water because extra energy is required to break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules.

When the ph of an aqueous solution is changed from 1 to 2, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

decreased by a factor of 10

Explanation:

pH is defined in such a way that;

pH= −log10(H)

Where H represents the concentration of Hydronium or Hydrogen ions

Given that pH is changed from 1 to 2,

By rearranging the above formula , we get 10−pH = H

  • if pH=1,H=10−1=0.1M
  • if pH=2,H=10−2=0.01M

Therefore,  0.1/0.01 = 10 and 0.1 > 0.01

Hence, the concentration of hydronium ions in the solution is decreased by a factor of 10

If heat transfers from the system (solute) to the surroundings (solvent), then AH is
balu736 [363]

Answer:

B) exothermic.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, we need to keep in mind that exothermic reactions release heat, so they increase the temperature as the final energy is less than the initial energy; in contrast, endothermic reactions absorb heat, so they decrease the temperature as the final energy is greater than the initial energy.

In such a way, when a dissolution process shows off a negative enthalpy of dissolution, we infer it is an exothermic process due to the aforementioned; therefore, the answer is:

B) exothermic .

Best regards!
