Describe Rutherford's contribution to the atomic model.

Chemistry

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>

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

C.)organs are a group of two or more different types of tissues that work together to perform a specific function

Explanation:

Cells of similar function are grouped together into tissues. For example, cardiac muscle tissue is present only in the heart, and made up of specialised cells called cardiomyocytes, or cardiac muscle cells. These cells contract to pump blood around the body.

The heart is an organ, consisting of multiple types of tissue including cardiac muscle tissue, connective tissue, blood vessels and epithelial tissue. Therefore, organs represent a group of at least two types of tissue that work together to carry out functions in the body.

An aqueous solution of licl is 34.0 % licl. what mass of water is present in 250.0 g of the solution? (density of water is 1.00
adell [148]
<span>If the aqueous solution is 34% Licl then it is 100 - 34% water = 66% From the calculation we've found out that it is 66% water. Then we need to find the weight from a 250 g solution. 66/100 * 250 = 165g Hence it is 165g</span>
