Chemistry

Alchen [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Their positive charge is located in the small nucleus

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford performed the gold foil experiment in 1911 where he used alpha particles generated from a radioactive source to bombard a thin gold foil.

In his experiment, he observed that the bulk of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil, just a tiny fraction was deflected back. To explain his findings, Rutherford proposed that an atom is made of positively charged centre where nearly all the mass is concentrated called nucleus. Surrounding the nucleus is a large space containing electrons.

He discovered that other than the nucleus at the center, atoms are mostly just empty space. So A makes the most sense.

If the reaction is at dynamic equilibrium at 500 K, which statement applies to the given chemical system?
Alenkinab [10]

The correct option is this: THE CONCENTRATION OF THE PRODUCTS AND THE REACTANTS DO NOT CHANGE.

A reversible chemical reaction is said to be in equilibrium if the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. At this stage, the concentrations of the products and the reactants remain constant, that is, there is no net change in the concentration even though the reacting species are moving between the forward and the backward reaction.
