Why the alpha particles could not smash the nucleus apart?
The alpha particle is positively charged (as is the nucleus) and is heavy compared with the neutron that is neutral and lighter than the alpha particle.Another viewpoint:It depends what experiment the question is about. For example, over a hundred years ago, Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and some "bounced off" what we now call the nucleus of the atoms. However, about ten years later he did experiments in which alpha particles did indeed "split" atomic nuclei. So, sometimes alpha particles can certainly smash a nucleus apart.
What evidence is there that electrons are negatively charged particles?
You should understand that it is an arbitrary choice, to call the charge on an electron negative rather than positive. Everything that we know about electromagnetism and sub-atomic particles would work just as well if we had decided to call the charge on the electron plus one, and the charge on the proton minus one. What matters is that protons and electrons have opposite charges (and of course, the various other charged particles have their various charges which relate to the charges of protons and electrons). That is all that we are trying to convey by the use of the term negative. It is opposite to the proton. The existence of these charges is abundantly, even super-abundantly verified by countless millions of experiments, observations, electrical devices, etc.
What do you call a designer of a house?
We call such people architects.
What do you call you call a map that shows man-made features?
topographical
What did Goethe call architecture?
"I call architecture frozen music." -Goethe
What do you call materials produced when a volcano erupts?
Materials produced when a volcano erupts are called volcanic products or volcanic materials. These can include lava flows, ash, gases, and volcanic rocks such as pumice and obsidian.
What do you call scientist who studies volcanoes?
A scientist who studies volcanoes is called a volcanologist. These experts specialize in understanding volcanic activity, monitoring eruptions, and researching volcanic processes to help mitigate the risks associated with volcanic hazards.
Why do they call the maria's sea if the is no water on the moon?
Early observers thought that the darkened areas on the Moon resembled seas. The maria were caused by volcanic eruptions over millions of years.
What do you call the fast-travelling stream of hot gas and fragmental material that is produced during an explosive volcanic eruption?
Pyroclastic flow
What do you call a person that studies volcanoes?
A person who studies volcanoes is called a volcanologist. They specialize in the study of volcanic activity, including the causes, behavior, and impacts of volcanic eruptions.
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What do we call magma that has hardened in a volcanoes pipe?
When magma has solidified in a volcanoes vent it is known as a volcanic plug. In some cases when there is a plug present in a stratovolcano, it can lead to very large explosive eruptions as pressure builds within the volcano.
What do you call molten rock before it erupted?
Molten rock before it erupts is called magma. It is found beneath the Earth's surface and can eventually make its way to the surface through volcanic eruptions.
How do you predict a volcanic eruption using GPS?
You don't. Prediction of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other geological phenomena cannot be made. Guesses might be made from measurement of land movement with GPS, small tremors with seismographs, and heat flow with IR scanners, but they aren't accurate enough to call them predictions.
What do you call molten or melted rocks?
Molten rock is also known as lava. Lava is produced by a volcano that is erupting. Lava temperatures range from 1,292 to 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit.
What do you call a person who studies volcanoes?
A person who studies volcanoes is called a volcanologist. They specialize in understanding the behavior, formation, and eruption mechanisms of volcanoes. Their work involves researching volcanic activity to better predict and mitigate the risks associated with volcanic eruptions.
What do you call the area where 75 percent of the worlds volcanoes are located?
The area where 75 percent of the world's volcanoes are located is known as the "Ring of Fire." This region is a horseshoe-shaped belt of volcanic and seismic activity that encircles the Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to the movement of tectonic plates.
