What did Ernest Rutherford’s gold foil experiment demonstrate about atoms ?

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.

The pathway by which carbon is transferred from living organisms to the atmosphere is called:
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

cellular respiration

Explanation:

All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.

Aerobic respiration  (oxidative phosphorylation)

- Use molecular O2.

- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O

- Exergonic

- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy

- Present in most organisms.

- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.

How to classify hemicetal and acetal
kumpel [21]
You might have meant hemiacetal, not hemicetal.
Acetals contain two –OR groups, one –R group and a –H atom. In hemiacetals, one of the –OR groups in acetals is replaced by a –OH group<span>.

From the graph of Density vs. Concentration, created in Graph 1, what was the relationship between the concentration of the suga
USPshnik [31]

The graph is not given in the question, so, the required graph is attached below:

Answer:

According to the graph, the relationship between the density of the sugar solution and the concentration of the sugar solution is directly proportional to each other as they both are increasing exponentially.

The graph shows that, the density of sugar solution will increase with the increase in concentration of sugar in the solution.
