Answer:

A. The model could not explain how alpha particles could be deflected at large angles.

Explanation:

The plum pudding model of the atom was proposed by J. J Thomson. He suggested that that an atom is made up of dense particles of electrons surrounded by positive charges.

From the Gold foil experiment carried out by Ernest Rutherford, he noticed that the bulk of the alpha particles targeted at the foil passed through and a little fraction was heavily deflected back.

Rutherford then presented his nuclear model from here. He suggested a massive, dense and tiny nucleus where the protons and neutrons are located. The space outside the mass is dominated by orbiting electrons.

Answer:

NaI

Explanation:

In I₂, HI and IBr, both atoms are nonmetals and they form covalent bonds in which electrons are shared.

In NaI, Na is a metal and I a nonmetal, so they form an ionic bond, where Na loses an electron to form Na⁺ and I gains an electron to form I⁻. Anions and cations are attracted to each other through electrostatic forces.

Since ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds, more energy is required to break them in the melting process, thus having higher melting points.

All in all, NaI is the one with the highest melting point.
