Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal.
Answer:
1) The volume occupied by an atom is composed of mainly empty space
2) Atoms have a very small, relatively dense, central nucleus that is positively charged
3) The region around the nucleus of an atom are orbited by negatively charged electrons in a the same fashion planets orbit around the Sun.
Explanation:
The selection of gold for the gold foil experiment was due to its ability to be rolled into extremely thin sheets such that it was expected for alpha particle to perforate or pass through the foil.
Answer:
Ability to conduct electricity
Melting point
Answer:
1.25 moles of tungsten carbide
Explanation:
Tungsten carbide, WC, is a substance that is produced prom carbon and tungsten as follows:
W + C → WC
Based on the reaction, 1 mole of Carbon produce 1 mole of tungsten carbide. That means if 1.25 moles of carbon are added in excess of tungsten, the moles of tungsten carbide produced are:
<h3>1.25 moles of tungsten carbide</h3>
