Why did Rutherford conclude that the atom was mostly empty space?

Rutherford came to this conclusion after his Gold-Foil experiment. He found that most of the alpha particales(when released) went straight through the gold foil, of which consisted of atoms. In the middle of the atom theres a small nucleus that has mass and positive charge. Because the nucleus is so small the alpha <span>particles were able to go straight through leading to the conclusion that atoms are mostly empty space. </span>

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does sodiums neutral atom have? Plz help.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

So for your question, the Periodic Table tells us that sodium has an Atomic Number of 11, so there are 11 protons and 11 electrons. The Periodic Table tells us that sodium has an Atomic Mass of ≈23. So there are 23 - 11 = 12 neutrons.

A student analyzed an antacid tablet from a bottle containing 120 tablets purchased for $2.79. The mass of the tablet was 1.247
BaLLatris [955]

The cost of one antacid is 2.325 cents per tablet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per the question based on the student analysis we know that,

Total antacid tablets in a bottle = 120

Purchase Price of a bottle = $ 2.79

Cost of 1 antacid tablet =\frac{2.79}{120}  

As we know $1 = 100 cent

The cost of 1 antacid tablet = \frac{2.79}{120} × 100 cents = 2.325 cents/tablet .

Thus we came to know that it costs 2.325 cents/tablet .

How many moles of H atoms are in 15.2 grams of pure ice?
nikitadnepr [17]

The number of moles of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 0.850 moles

The number of moles of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 13.50 moles

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a smallest indivisible particle of a chemical element that is capable of independent existence.

  • Pure ice contains the H2O molecules and the molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mol

Using the relation:

  • number of moles = mass/molar mass

The number of moles of H2O = 15.2 grams/18.02 g/mol

number of moles of H2O = 0.8435 moles

If the atomic mass of H and O are as follow:

  • the atomic mass of H atom is = 1.00784 g/mol
  • the atomic mass of O atom is = 15.999 g/mol

Then:

the number of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = mass of H atom × molar mass of H2O.

the number of H atoms = 0.8435 mol × 1.00784 g/mol

the number of H atoms = 0.850 moles

the number of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = 0.8435 mol × 15.999 g/mol

the number of O atoms = 13.50 moles
