What did Rutherford's gold foil experiment tell about the atom?

1 answer:

3 0

The alpha particles that were fired at the gold foil were positively charged. ... These experiments led Rutherford to describe the atom as containing mostly empty space, with a very small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom, with the electrons orbiting the nucleus.

If one atom of potassium and one atom of chlorine form an ionic bond, what are the charges of the two ions?

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The answer is the letter A.

Explanation:

It is letter A because of Chlorine needs an electron to have a full shell. So, it will receive a negative one because it is gaining an electron. Potassium lost an electron because the element has to share the electron with Chlorine to balance its properties.
