Answers are:

B. Cathode rays inside the tube deflected towards a positively charged rod, because the cathode ray is composed of negatively-charged particles (negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons).

C. A few alpha particles bounced back during the scattering experiment.  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.

Answer:

C. A few alpha particles bounced back during the scattering experiment.

Explanation:

Rutherford's gold foil experiment proved that the center of the atom is dense which caused some of the alpha particles to bounce back. This proved that most of the mass of the atom is located at the center, however, the rest of the atom is empty. It also showed that the center of the atom stores all the positive charges.

How do the interactions that are broken in water when it is boiled compare with those broken when water is electrolyzed? Boiling
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Boiling water breaks intermolecular attractions and electrolysis breaks covalent bonds.

Explanation:

When water boils, hydrogen bonds are broken between adjacent water molecules. The hydrogen bond is an intermolecular bond between adjacent oxygen and hydrogen atoms of water molecules.  

During electrolysis, water dissociates in the presence of electric current. Here, ions are formed in the process. Therefore, covalent bonds are broken here.

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.

assume in a different experiment, you prepare a mixture containing 10.0 M FeSCN2+, 1.0 M H+, 0.1 MFe3+ and 0.1 M HSCN. Is the in
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The mixture is not in equilibrium, the reaction will shift to the left.

Explanation:

<em>Based on the equilibrium:</em>

<em>Fe³⁺+ HSCN ⇄ FeSCN²⁺ + H⁺</em>

<em>kc = 30 = [FeSCN²⁺] [H⁺] / [Fe³⁺] [HSCN]</em>

Where [] are concentrations at equilibrium. The reaction is in equilibrium when  the ratio of concentrations = kc

Q is the same expression than kc but with [] that are not in equilibrium

Replacing:

Q = [10.0M] [1.0M] / [0.1M] [0.1M]

Q = 1000

As Q > kc, the reaction will shift to the left in order to produce Fe³⁺ and HSCN untill Q = Kc
