Design a test to determine whether thorium-234 also emits particles. First, explain how Rutherford’s experiment measured positiv
liubo4ka [24]

The characteristics of the α and β particles allow to find  the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the beta particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

In Rutherford's experiment, the positive particles directed to the gold film were measured on a phosphorescent screen that with each arriving particle a luminous point is seen.

The particles in this experiment are α particles that have two positive charge and two no charged is a helium nucleus.

The test that can be carried out is to place a small ours of Thorium in front of a phosphorescent screen and see if it has flashes, with the amount of them we can determine the amount of particle emitted per unit of time.

Thorium has several isotopes, with different rates and types of emission:

  • ²³²Th emits α particles, it is the most abundant 99.9%
  • ²³⁴Th emits β particles, exists in small traces.

In this case they indicate that the material used is ²³⁴Th, which emits β particles that are electrons, the detection of these particles is more difficult since it has one negative charge, it has much lower mass, but they can travel further than the particles α, therefore, for what type of isotope we have, we can start measuring at a small distance and increase the distance until the reading is constant. At this point all the particles that arrive are β, which correspond to ²³⁴Th.

Neutron detection is much more difficult since these particles have no charge and therefore do not interact with electrons and no flashing on the screen is varied.

In conclusion with the characteristics of the α and β particles we can find the design of an experiment to measure the ²³⁴Th particles is:

  • On a screen, measure the emission as a function of distance and when the value reaches a constant, there is the β particle emission from ²³⁴Th.
  • The neutrons cannot be detected in this experiment because they have no electrical charge.

What is an Atomic structure ?
Margaret [11]

Answer: The structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus, the constitution of the nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons differing with various chemical elements.

Which unstable element is used to determine the age of volcanic rock?
77julia77 [94]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Potassium.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Therefore, the answer is Potassium. You might think, that because we were talking about Argon as well, the answer is both of them, but no. Everything starts with Potassium but it decays into Argon during the process.

Which ions aren't shown in net ionic reactions, because they are present as both reactants and products of the reaction, so they
Anvisha [2.4K]

Explanation:

This is correct!

Ions that exist in both the reactant and product side of the equation are referred to as spectator ions. Overall, they do not partake in the reaction. If they are present on both sides of the equation, you can cancel them out.

An example is;

Na+(aq) + Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) → Na​+​​(aq) + NO​3​−​​(aq) + AgCl(s)

The ions; Na+, NO​3​−​​(aq) would be cancelled out to give;

Cl​−​​(aq) + Ag​+(aq)  → AgCl(s)
