Explanation:

When Rutherford did the Gold Foil experiment, he expected that most of his alpha particles will go straight through, without any major deflections. He noticed that, during the experiment, most alpha particles went straight through, but was surprised to see that some got deflected by major angles. So he came up with a theory which states that every atom has got a nucleus, and also stated that most parts of the atom are empty, as most of the particles went through.

What did Rutherford’s model of the atom include that Thomson’s model did not have?
Ksivusya [100]
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

Answer:

he at 100k

Explanation:

All particles have energy, and the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in, which determines if the substance is a solid, liquid, or gas. Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.

There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases.

Key Terms

kinetic molecular theory: Theory of treating samples of matter as a large number of small particles (atoms or molecules), all of which are in constant, random motion

kinetic: Of or relating to motion.

lattice: A regular spacing or arrangement of atoms/molecules within a crystal.

phase: A component in a material system that is distinguished by chemical composition and/or physical state. Matter can exist in the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases.

The kinetic molecular theory of matter offers a description of the microscopic properties of atoms (or molecules) and their interactions, leading to observable macroscopic properties (such as pressure, volume, temperature). An application of the theory is that it helps to explain why matter exists in different phases (solid, liquid, and gas) and how matter can change from one phase to the next.

All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state. Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy.

Hooke's law. The distance d when a spring is stretched by a hanging objective varies directly as the weight w of the object. If
Fofino [41]
<span>Hooke's law is F=-kx, which means the elastic force contained by the spring is a product of the distance it stretches and its spring constant, but the direction of the force is opposite that of the displacement. We calculate as follows:

</span><span>(3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -k(-0.38 m)
</span>k =<span> 77.4

</span><span>Then use k to find the new displacement, again using Hooke's law:
(7 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = -(77.4)x
x = -0.89 m</span>
