Explain the results of Rutherford’s gold foil experiment and how they changed our model of the atom.

Physics

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Through Rutherford's gold foil experiment, he disproved J.J Thompson's theory. Rutherford was very interested in studying the behavior of x-rays, which was then recently discovered by Curie. When he shot a beam of alpha particles (particles with 2 neutrons and 2 protons, or the Helium atom) toward the gold foil, the particles were deflected by a slight angle. He then theorized that these deflections were due to the existence of a dense nucleus inside the atom. 

Following Rutherford's discovery of the nucleus, Niels Bohr theorized the planetary model of the atomic structure. According to him, the atom is like a solar system wherein the Sun is the nucleus and the planets are the electrons orbiting around it. The electrons and protons move this way because they are influenced by an electric force due to the difference of their charges.

A nickel (5 cent coin) has a mass of 5.0 g. How many nickels are there in a stack of nickels with a mass of 10.0 kg?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values ​​A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels
