What prompted rutherford to do the alpha particle experiment

Chemistry

It was because of Thomson's Plumb  Pudding Model that prompted Rutherford to do the alpha particle experiment. A question popped into his mind about the arrangement of the electrons the positive charge. He has suspicions on the validity of the Plumb Pudding Model and he thinks it may not explain the structure of matter.

\large{\underline{\sf{Rutherford's\:Alpha\:scattering\:experiment-}}}

<h3>( Discovery of Nucleus in an atom )</h3><h3 />

Ernest Rutherford was interested in knowing the arrangement of electrons in an atom. For this, he conducted a unique experiment of scattering of positive charged Alpha particles by a gold foil.

Infact, alpha particles are nuclei of helium atom, with two units of positive charge and four units of mass. These particles are emitted by radio active elements like Radium and potassium. Fast moving alpha particles have considerable amount of energy and they can penetrate through matter to some extent.

  • He used a gold foil which is very malleable element and can be stretched to extreme thin sheet.

  • He bombarded the alpha particles over the gold foil which was about 1000 atoms thick.

4.) Heat is transferred through a piece of metal by _____.
conduction

Conduction happens when both items are in close contact. In a piece of metal. In this case, the heat transfers gradually into the other ends of the object. This makes the transfer rate is slow on a long object with a low surface area.


5.) Heat from the sun travels to earth by _____.
radiation

</span>Sun energy comes from a reaction that will produce a light and heat and it is transferred to the earth by radiation. While conduction and convection need contact with the object, radiation doesn't.  Radiation can travels a very long distance, that is why the heat could be delivered to the earth.
<span>

6.) Energy in a vacuum travels by ___.
radiation

</span>One of the examples for energy travels in a vacuum would be sunlight. Sun and earth are separated by vacuum space which means there is no direct contact between earth and sun. That means conduction and convection are not possible.
<span>

7.) In a convection current _____.
</span><span>C.)cool fluid is more dense, and therefore, sinks
</span><span>
Cool fluid have lower volume, thus become denser than warm fluid. Since its density higher than the warm fluid, it will sinks and moves toward the earth. The warm fluid also rises to replace the cool fluid.


8.) Nuclear reactions occurring in the Sun _____. Select all that apply.
generate light
generate heat
fuse atoms of hydrogen to make helium atoms

Sun is bright and hot, which means it produces light and heat. The reaction should be producing energy, not absorbing energy. The reaction that produces that energy would be the fusion reaction of hydrogen into helium.


9.) Which of the following statements is true?
</span><span>C.)The sun's energy comes from the nuclear reactions of changing hydrogen into helium.
</span><span>The sun reaction is right, it is forming helium using hydrogens.
Transfer of heat in liquid mostly happens because convection which need direct contact. But the heat can transfer by radiation too, so its a bit ambiguous.
Temperature represents the average kinetic energy of the molecule and it is different with heat/thermal energy.</span>

What can be said about the shape of the infrared stretch of the O-H functional group in a carboxylic acid. Pick the best answers
kirza4 [7]

Answer: Strong (b)

Explanation:

INFRARED ACTIVE BONDS

Not all covalent bonds display bands in the IR spectrum. Only polar bonds do so. These are referred to as IR active.

The intensity of the bands depends on the magnitude of the dipole moment associated with the bond in question:

Strongly polar bonds such as carbonyl groups (C=0) produce strong bands.

How much work (in JJ) is required to expand the volume of a pump from 0.0 LL to 2.5 LL against an external pressure of 1.1 atmat
stira [4]

Answer:

- 278.85 J  

Explanation:

Given that:

Pressure = 1.1 atm

The initial volume V₁ = 0.0 L

The final volume V₂ = 2.5 L

The work that takes place in a reaction at constant pressure can be expressed by using the equation:

W = P(V₂ - V₁ )

Since the volume of the gas is expanded from 0 to 2.5 L when 1.1 atm pressure is applied. Then, the work can be given by the expression:

W = - P(V₂ - V₁ )

W = -1.1 atm ( 2.5 - 0.0) L

W = -1.1 atm (2.5 L)

W = -2.75 atm L

Recall that:

1 atm L = 101.4 J

Therefore;

-2.75 atm L = ( -2.75 × 101.4 )J

= -278.85 J  

Thus, the work required at the chemical reaction when the pressure applied is 1.1 atm  = - 278.85 J
