What did Rutherford’s scattering experiment reveal about the structure of atoms?

Chemistry

Stels [109]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This experiment by Rutherford involved the firing of alpha particles at gold foils. It is also. called the gold foil experiment.

He fired these alpha particles at different points. He noticed that at some points, there were deflections, while at some other points, there were no deflections. It is necessary to state that these alpha particles are positively charged. For there to be a deflection, there must have been a kind of repulsion between the gold foil and the alpha particles.

From the basic physics of like repels like, he knew for sure that there must be dense positive core in the atom that is causing the deflection of the alpha particles. This enabled him to come up with the theory that the atom contained a small dense positive core called the nucleus

In which of these situations is convection most likely the main form of heat transfer?
lorasvet [3.4K]
In the first situation: the mechanism of covection is the main form of heat transfer when warm air from a heater moves around and upward.

In the case of the metal pan the mechanism of heat transfer is conduction.

In the case of sunburn the mechanism is radiation.

In the case of an ice cube melting in a hand, conduction is the most important mechanism.

Explain with examples following characteristics of chemical reactions: a. Change of colour b. Evolution of gas c. Change of smel
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. change of colour:

A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products. The products have different molecular structures than the reactants. Different atoms and molecules radiate different colours of light. Hence, there usually is a change in colour during a chemical reaction.

Eg: copper reactions with the elements

b. Evolution of gas:

A gas evolution reaction is a chemical reaction in which one of the end products is a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide.

Eg: ammonium hydroxide breaks down to water and ammonia gas.

c. Change of smell :

Production of an Odor Some chemical changes produce new smells.  ... The formation of gas bubbles is another indicator that a chemical change may have occured.

Eg: The chemical change that occurs when an egg is rotting produces the smell of sulfur.

d. Change of state:

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also called reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, known as products.

Eg: candle wax (solid) melts initially to produce molten wax (liquid)
