How did Ernest Ruth ford's discovery affect the model of the atom?

<span>By 1911 the components of the atom had been discovered. The atom consisted of subatomic particles called protons and electrons. However, it was not clear how these protons and electrons were arranged within the atom. J.J. Thomson suggested the"plum pudding" model. In this model the electrons and protons are uniformly mixed throughout the atom:  Rutherford tested Thomson's hypothesis by devising his "gold foil" experiment. Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Then, if he shot high velocity alpha particles (helium nuclei) at an atom then there would be very little to deflect the alpha particles. He decided to test this with a thin film of gold atoms. As expected, most alpha particles went right through the gold foil but to his amazement a few alpha particles rebounded almost directly backwards.  These deflections were not consistent with Thomson's model. Rutherford was forced to discard the Plum Pudding model and reasoned that the only way the alpha particles could be deflected backwards was if most of the mass in an atom was concentrated in a nucleus. He thus developed the planetary model of the atom which put all the protons in the nucleus and the electrons orbited around the nucleus like planets around the sun.   </span>

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When we talk about electrophilic substitution, we are talking about a substitution reaction in which the attacking agent is an electrophile. The electrophile attacks an electron rich area of a compound during the reaction.

The five membered furan ring is aromatic just as benzene. This aromatic structure is maintained during electrophilic substitution reaction. The attack of the electrophile generates a resonance stabilized intermediate whose canonical structures have been shown in the image attached.

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:
jonny [76]

Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
