Ernest Rutherford
J. J Thomson
Explanation:
<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.
Experiment
In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.
Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory
To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.
<u>J. J Thomson</u>
Experiment
In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.
Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory
From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:
- they move in a straight line
- they possess kinetic energy
- they attract positive charges and repels negative charges
Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.

Answer:
Keep temperature constant and increase the pressure of the reaction. The rate of reaction increases.
Explanation:
First of all, the question is asking us to design an experiment to investigate the effect of pressure on the rate of reaction hence the pressure can not be held constant since it is the variable under investigation. This eliminates the first option.
Secondly, increasing the pressure of the reaction means that particles of the gas collide more frequently leading to a greater number of effective collisions and a consequent increase in the rate of reaction according to the collision theory.
Hence the answer above.
For this question the answer is c
