Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.
Answer:
what does it say under the paragraph
Explanation:
Answer:
The energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV
Explanation:
To solve this question, we have to calculate the binding energy of each isotope and then take the difference.
The mass of Tritium = 3.016049 amu.
So,the binding energy of Tritium = 3.016049 *931.494 MeV
= 2809.43155 MeV.
The mass of Helium 3 = 3.016029 amu.
So, the binding energy of Helium 3 = 3.016029 * 931.494 MeV
= 2809.41292 MeV.
The difference between the binding energy of Tritium and the binding energy of Helium is: 32809.43155 - 2809.412 = 0.01863 MeV
1 MeV = 1000keV.
Thus, 0.01863 MeV = 0.01863*1000keV = 18.63 keV.
So, the energy released in the decay process = 18.63 keV.
