How did rutherford contribute to the atomic theory?

History
1 answer:
stira [4]3 years ago
4 0
Ernest Rutherford contributed to the atomic theory by discovering that the atom is mostly empty space.

He can to that conclusion because he fired alpha particles at gold foil, which was so thin that it was only around .00004 cm thick, and while almost all shot straight through, some actually bounced back!

He likened it to shooting a 15-inch round(bullet) at tissue paper, only to have it bounce right back at you! Based on this, he theorized that the atom is mostly empty, which is why a majority of the particles passed right through, but in the very center of the atom there is a super-dense structure called a nucleus that held a majority of the atom's mass. This super-dense mass would be more than massive enough to deflect the particle, should they collide.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Otto Von Bismarck

Explanation:

Otto Von Bismark became the first chancellor of Germany and masterminded the unification of Germany in 1871. The idea for the unification became necessary during the 16th and 17th centuries because the country remained split into city-states, different from Britain and France. Germany's city-states had its ruling king, which explained a lack of political solidarity. A sense of nationalism was coming up, and Bismark wanted to build a nation by uniting. Germany got its unification with the help of the Prussian Army and bureaucracy in 1871.
