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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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

Many chemical names are similar at first glance. Give the formulas of the species in each set: (a) ammonium ion and ammonia; (b)
ohaa [14]

Answer:

a) Ammonium ion: NH₄⁺, ammonia: NH₃.

b)Magnesium sulfide: MgS, magnesium sulfite: MgSO₃, magnesium sulfate: MgSO₄.

c) Chloric acid: HClO₃, chlorous acid HClO₂.

d) Cupric bromide: CuBr₂, cuprous bromide: CuBr.

Explanation:

a) Ammonia is the neutral substance, which as molecular formula NH₃ when it gains a proton, it becomes the ammonium ion NH₄⁺.

b) In the name of salts, first, it comes the cation name, in this case, all the cations are the magnesium (Mg²⁺). The ions of sulfur can be oxidized or not, the termination "ide" indicates the non-oxidized ion (S⁻²), "ite" the less oxidized (SO₃⁻²), and "ate" the more oxidized (SO₄⁻²). To do the molecular formula, the charges are replaced without the signals and put down. If they are equal, the number is not put.

Magnesium sulfide: MgS

Magnesium sulfite: MgSO₃

Magnesium sulfate: MgSO₄

c) The acids can be oxidized or not, when it has no oxygens, the name is given "hydro" + the anion name, as hydrochloric acid (HCl). When there's oxygen in the molecule, the more oxidized is name as "'per" + anion name + "ic", the second more oxidized as anion name + "ic", the second less oxidized as anion name + "us", and the less oxidized as "hypo" + anion name + "us". In this case:

chloric acid: HClO₃

chlorous acid HClO₂

d) The salts of copper are named depends on the oxidation number of the cupper. The one with a higher oxidation number( +2) is called cupric, and the other (+1), cuprous. Thus:

cupric bromide: CuBr₂ (oxidation number = +2)

cuprous bromide: CuBr (oxidation number = +1)

lara [203]

Answer:

Biphenyl

Explanation:

The reaction of bromo benzene with magnesium-ether solution yields a Grignard reagent.

The byproduct of this reaction is biphenyl. It is formed when two unreacted bromobenzene molecules are coupled together.

Hence, It is advised that the bromobenzene solution be added slowly to the magnesium-ether solution so that it isn't present in a high concentration, thus reducing the amount of biphenyl by-product formed.
