Why did most of the alpha particles go straight through the gold foil in Rutherford's experiment?

Chemistry
1 answer:
andre [41]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The fact that most alpha particles went straight through the foil is because the atom is mostly empty space.

Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.

Hi everyone can anyone help with this, the question and diagram is in the pic thx!
seraphim [82]

Answer:

QP

Explanation:

P has 9 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 7

Valence electrons : 7

P needs 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q has 3 electrons.

Electronic Configuration : 2, 1

Valence electrons : 1

P needs to loose 1 electron to get stable electronic configuration.

Q donates 1 electron,

Q -----> Q+ + 1 e-

P gains 1 electron,

P + 1 e- -----> P-

Q+ + P- -----> QP

This is an ionic compound.

In a reaction of a potential new fuel, it is found that when 2.81 moles of the fuel combusts, 1,612 kJ of energy is released. Wh
Tema [17]

Answer:

-573.67

Explanation:

whenever energy is released in a chemical reaction, we would then expect the delta H of the reaction to be negative because the reaction is an exothermic reaction.

now we have that 2.81 moles of fuel when it combusts would releases 1612kJ of energy

thus, 1 mole will release 1612/2.81 = -573.67kJ of heat

Therefore the delta H of the reaction = -573.67 kJ/mol

Use the kinetic energy equation to explain why speed has a greater impact on kinetic energy than mass.​
Lerok [7]

Answer: <em>Hopefully this helps! sorry if not. :))</em>

<em></em>

<em>Speed has a greater impact on mass because its increases in velocity have an exponentially greater impact on translational kinetic energy because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity squared. Doubling an object's mass would only double its kinetic energy, however doubling its momentum would quadruple its velocity.</em>
