Answer: a pair of antennae
Explanation:
<span>The effective nuclear charge of an atom = total electrons - inner electrons
For O, ENC = 8 - 2 = 6
For Li, ENC = 3 - 2 = 1
For C, ENC = 6 - 2 = 4
The electrons in O experience the greatest effective nuclear charge and that is why O is smaller than C (which is smaller than Li).</span>
Answer;
-(2) An atom is mostly empty space.
Experiment
-Rutherford conducted the "gold foil" experiment where he shot alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. The conclusion that can be drawn from these experiment is that an atom is mostly empty space.
-Rutherford found that a small percentage of the particles were deflected, while a majority passed through the sheet. This caused Rutherford to conclude that the mass of an atom was concentrated at its center, as the tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.
