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>

The laws of superposition and original horizontality are best applied to _____.

The laws of superposition and original horizontality are best applied to sedimentary rocks.


Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through deposition and subsequent cementation of such material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. The law of superposition and original horizontality applies because technically the layers of sediments from which sedimentary rocks are formed were originally deposited horizontally under the gravitational action.  Furthermore,  since sedimentary rock formation has an undisturbed sequence, then the basic law of geochronolgy (law of superposition) applies since oldest layer is at the bottom while the youngest layer is on top.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!

A supersaturated solution contains more solute at a given temperature than is needed to form a saturated solution.

Increased temperature usually increases the solubility of solids in liquids.

For example, the solubility of glucose at 25 °C is 91 g/100 mL of water. The solubility at 50 °C is 244 g/100 mL of water.

If we add 100 g of glucose to 100 mL water at 25 °C, 91 g dissolve. Nine grams of solid remain on the bottom. We have a saturated solution.
