Answer:The atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles were deflected by large angles (> 4°) as they passed through the foil. There is a concentration of positive charge in the atom. Like charges repel, so the positive alpha particles were being repelled by positive charge

Consider the chemical equation. CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 mc023-1.jpg Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl What is the percent yield of NaCl if 31.0 g of CuCl2
lana [24]
CuCl2 + 2NaNO3 ---->  Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaCl

using molar masses:-
Theoretical yields:-
63.54 + 2(35.45) g  of CuCl2  produces  2(22.98 + 35.45) g of NaCl
    134.44  g .................................................... 116.86 g
       31.0 g ....................................................31.0 * 116.86 /134.44=26.95g  
 
 So percentage yield is 21.2* 100 / 26.95    =  78.7%  to nearest tenth

LenKa [72]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
  • Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
  • Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.

Elements are organized on the periodic table based on their properties. Which statement correctly predicts and explains the chem
Elanso [62]

Answer is: a. Rubidium (Rb) is more reactive than strontium (Sr) because strontium atoms must lose more electrons.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).  

Alkaline metals (group 1), in this example rubidium, have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), they are most reactive metals.

Earth alkaline metals (group 2), in this example strontium, have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons, they are less reactive.  

Rubidium electron configuration: ₃₇Rb 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s¹; one valence electron is 5s¹ orbital.

Strontium electron configuration: ₃₈Sr 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s²; two valence electrons is 5s² orbital.
