Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).
Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.
That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.
According to Rutherford model of the atom:
1) Atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
2) Major space in an atom is empty.
3) Atoms nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electrons.
4) An atom is electrically neutral.
Answer : The percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %
Explanation :
Using Beer-Lambert's law :



where,
A = absorbance of solution
C = concentration of solution = 
l = path length = 2.5 mm = 0.25 cm
= incident light
= transmitted light
= molar absorptivity coefficient = 
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:



If we consider
= 100
then, 
Here 'I' intensity of transmitted light = 20.198
Thus, the intensity of absorbed light
= 100 - 20.198 = 79.80
Now we have to calculate the percentage reduction in intensity.


Therefore, the percentage reduction in intensity is 79.80 %
Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
D. The empirical formula and the molar mass
Albert Einstein showed in one of his papers in 1905 that Brownian motion could be explained by assuming that matter is made up of tiny particles. His paper predicted how the motion should look like and also allowed for the calculation of the mass of a single molecule.
Current evidence includes:
1. Individual ions (atoms with an electric charge) can be manipulated using electric and magnetic fields.
2. Elevation maps can now be made that show bumps caused by individual atoms.
