The only explanation, Rutherford suggested in 1911, was that the alpha particles were being scattered by a large amount of positive charge concentrated in a very small space at the center of the gold atom.
Using flowers in their natural state and shape
Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,
Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation
Nⁿ⁻ = Anion
MN = Salt
Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.
Example:
Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,
Oxidation of Na;
2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;
Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl
Answer:
Around 450 B.C.
Explanation:
The idea was forgotten until the 1800 when John Dalton re-introduced the atom.
