Rutherford's gold foil experiment proved that there was a small, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center, which contained most of the mass of the atom. Which contained electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).
Terms:
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charge ion.
- Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
The answer is C due to the rain making contact with the iron it creates moisture which cause the iron to begin oxidizing which causes the iron to rust which is a chemical reaction then the blade which was once malleable because it was heat becomes harden and rust is created as I said before the physical aspect of the iron chances due to rust developing on it it's no longer has the luster it once had
