<span>Because protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge then it is safe to say that such an atomic model would have the positive charge concentrated in the center of an atom (option d).</span>
Answer:
The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.
Explanation:
The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.
To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:
[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)
with [At] = Concentration at time t
with [Ai] = initial concentration
with k = rate constant
with t = time
We want to know the half-life time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value
50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)
50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)
ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t
t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3 = 79.67 seconds
The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.
