Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Chemistry

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:

Rutherford's experiment, also known as

\alpha  - scattering \: experiment

supports the existence of neutrons and the nucleus.

Explanation:

In the above diagram, Rutherford was trying to explain his contributions using thin foils of gold and other metals as targets for alpha particles from a radioactive source.

He observed that the majority of particles penetrated the foil either undeflected or with only a slight deflection. But, every now and then an alpha particle was scattered(or deflected) at a large angle..

According to Rutherford, most of the atoms must be empty space. This explains why the majority of alpha particles passed through through the gold foil with little or no deflection. The atoms positive charges, Rutherford proposed are all concentrated in the Nucleus, <em>which</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>dense</em><em> </em><em>central</em><em> </em><em>core</em><em> </em><em>withi</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>atom</em><em>. </em>

Whenever an alpha particle came close to a nucleus in the scattering experiment, it experienced a large repulsive force and therefore a large deflection. Moreover, an alpha particle coming towards a nucleus would be completely repelled and its direction would be reversed. The positively charged particles in the Nucleus are called Protons.

I <em>hope</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>find</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>useful</em><em>.</em><em>.</em><em>. </em><em>Have</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>lovely</em><em> </em><em>day</em><em>. </em>

The following reaction shows the process of rusting. 4Fe + 3O2= 2Fe2O3 This chemical reaction should be classified as _____.
andrezito [222]
This is a synthesis reaction, where 2 reactants combine to form a single product.

In decomposition, 1 reactant splits into 2 products.
In single replacement, one element swaps with another, in the form A + BC = B + AC.
In double displacement two elements swap, in the form AB + CD = AD + CB
In neutralization (a kind of double displacement), an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.

Unknown element x is a metal that ionically bonds to sulfur.is the formula, x3s feasible? why or why not?a)it is feasible. the t
nasty-shy [4]
The correct answer is:
d) No, it is not feasible. three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond.
Because Sulfur is divalent so it need to gain 2 electrons from metal so if we have 3 metals they can't provide only two electrons only.
