Answer:
Explanation:
The relative massive alpha particles could go through the gold foil without being deviated of their trajectory or only small deviations due to the uniformity distribution positive charge of the protons.
The answer is D) a neutron.
When we say an atom's mass is, like 5 atomic mass units actually we are saying that the total number of the neutrons and protons in its nucleus is 5.
The mass of a neutron and a proton is each one atomic mass unit.
Mass of a neutron is approximately 1 atomic mass unit.
The lighted half of the moon faces away from the earth during the New Moon phase
Answer:
Explanation:
The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;
Si 111 pm
P 98 pm
Cl 79 pm
S 87pm
pm = picometer
We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius
