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.

denis-greek [22]

Answer: both the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose which is a form of energy storage in fungi, bacteria and animals. Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver cells and skeletal muscle.

The difference in interchain stability between the polysaccharides glycogen and cellulose is due to the different glycosidic linkages of the molecules and the different hydrogen bonding partners of the individual chains.

Which substance is a base? HCOOH RbOH H2CO3 NaNO3

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

RbOH

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember what is the definition of a base. A base is a compound that has the ability to produce hydroxyl ions $OH^-$ , so:

$AOH~->~A^+~+~OH^-$

With this in mind we can write the reaction for each substance:

$HCOOH~->~HCOO^-~+~H^+$

$RbOH~->~Rb^+~+~OH^-$

$H_2CO_3~->~CO_3^-^2~+~2H^+$

$NaNO_3~->~Na^+~+~NO_3^-$

The only compound that fits with the definition is $RbOH$ , so this is our base.

I hope it helps!

At a particular temperature, K 3.39 for the reaction SO2(9) + NO2(9) SOs(9) +NO(9) If all four gases had initial concentrations

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentrations are:

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.563 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 1.04 M

Explanation:

Given:

Equilibrium constant K = 3.39

[SO2] = [NO2] = [SO3] = [NO] = 0.800 M

To determine:

The equilibrium concentrations of the above gases

Calculation:

Set-up an ICE table for the given reaction

$SO2(g) + NO2(g)\rightleftharpoons SO3(g) + NO(g)$

I 0.800 0.800 0.800 0.800

C -x -x +x +x

E (0.800-x) (0.800-x) (0.800+x) (0.800+x)

The equilibrium constant is given as:

$Keq = \frac{[SO3][NO]}{[SO2][NO2]}=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

$3.39=\frac{(0.800+x)^{2}}{(0.800-x)^{2}}$

x = 0.2368 M

[SO2]=[NO2] = 0.800 -x = 0.800 - 0.2368 = 0.5632 M

[SO3]=[NO] = 0.800 +x = 0.800 + 0.2368 = 1.037 M

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

a. 3-brumo - 3-methylhexane

Explanation:

Alkyl Halides can undergo substitution reactions. Nucleophiles are electron rich species and has negative charge while Electrophiles are electron deficient species which carry positive charge. Alkyl halide which have polar carbon atom are electrophiles.
