The Gold Foil Expirament-Rutherford
A line of photons were shot through a thin piece of gold, and rutharford theorized that they should pass through. However some passed through while others deflected and some reflected backwards. It gave proof that atoms have a nucleus

∙ 14y agoIn physics, Rutherford scattering is a phenomenon that was explained by Ernest Rutherford in 1909[1], and led to the development of the orbital theory of the atom. It is now exploited by the materials analytical technique Rutherford backscattering. Rutherford scattering is also sometimes referred to as Coulomb scattering because it relies on static electric (Coulomb) forces. A similar process probed the insides of nuclei in the 1960s, called deep inelastic scattering. Ernest Rutherfordpublishes his atomic theory describing the atom as having a central positive nucleus surrounded by negative orbiting electrons. This model suggested that most of the mass of the atom was contained in the small nucleus, and that the rest of the atom was mostly empty space. Rutherford came to this conclusion following the results of his famous gold foil experiment. This experiment involved the firing of radioactive particles through minutely thin metal foils (notably gold) and detecting them using screens coated with zinc sulfide (a scintillator). Rutherford found that although the vast majority of particles passed straight through the foil approximately 1 in 8000 were deflected leading him to his theory that most of the atom was made up of 'empty space'.

Briefly describe ionic covalent metalic hydrogen and van der waals bonds?
van der waals' forces are a group of relatively weak intermolecular interactions which generally result when a molecule or group of molecules become polarized into a magnetic dipole.
Briefly describe the possible hazards of working with a 0.5M NaOH solution.?
It is a mild irritant at this concentration; however, the greatest danger is to the eyes. Use precautionary measures by wearing protective goggles, but if the solution does get into the eyes, flush immediately at the eye-wash station in your lab.

Ionic memory is for visual storage and we can briefly store an image and hold it there for a moment.
