Matthew is looking at two different atoms. One has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. The other substance has 8 protons and 12 neutrons.

Are these the same element? Why or why not?

Answer:

They are the same element.

Explanation:

Atom >>>>> Proton >>>> Neutron

A >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 10

B >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 12

From the table above we can see that both atoms have the same proton number.

Therefore, they are the same element because they have the same proton number which means that they have the same atomic number. The element in this case is existing as an isotope in that the atoms have the same proton number but different neutron number.

Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the Helium nucleus (alpha particle) after been scattered through an angle of 120° is

8.00 x 10-13J

Explanation:

In Rutherford Scattering experiment, the collision of the helium nucleus with the gold nucleus is an ELASTIC COLLISION. This means that the kinetic energy is conserved ( The same before and after the collision).

Thus, the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus is the same as initial kinetic energy (8.00 x 10^-13Joules)

Although, the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy in Coulomb's law equation.

That is,

1/2(mv^2) = (K* q1q2)/r

Where m is the mass of helium nucleus, v is its colliding velocity, k is electrostatic constant, q1 is the charge on helium nucleus, q2 is the charge on gold nucleus, r is impact parameter

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

"Scientists used them to create new theories"

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution was a sequence of actions that manifest the development of contemporary science through the early contemporary period, when advances in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology and chemistry altered the opinions of civilization around nature. The scientific revolution denotes to the quick developments in European scientific, mathematical, and political assumed, grounded on a new philosophy of experimentation and a belief in growth that defined Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries.
