I think its c, it makes sense to me to be c
Rutherford performed gold foil experiment to understand that how negative and positive particles could Co exist in an atom. He bombarded alpha particles on a 0.00004 cm thick gold foil.
He proposed a planetary model of the atom and concluded following results and demonstrated that,
1. An atom produces a line spectrum.
2. An Electron revolves around the nucleus without any orbits.
3. Since most of the particles passed through the foil undeflected it means that most of the volume occupied by an atom is empty.
4. An Atom as a whole is neutral.
5. The deflection of few particles on the foil suggested that there is center of positive particles in an atom called the nucleus of the atom.
6. The complete rebounce of few particles on the gold foil suggested that the nucleus is very dense and hard.
Nearly all life on Earth gets its energy from the sun, and the sun gets its energy through the process of nuclear fusion, which is why these type of energy is important to life on Earth.
Answer: The missing coefficient is 2.
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
As in the products, there are 2 atoms of sodium, thus there will be 2 atoms of of sodium in the reactant as well. This will balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms as well.
Thus the missing coefficient is 2.
