Rutherford's experiment included bombarding thin gold foil with alpha particles based on this research he concluded that?
Rutherford concluded that the atom is mostly empty space with a small, dense nucleus at the center. He also proposed the nuclear model of the atom, where electrons orbit the nucleus in a mostly empty space. This experiment laid the foundation for the modern understanding of atomic structure.
When a neutral atom captures a free electron what is the net charge on the atom?
When a neutral atom captures a free electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion. The net charge on the atom is -1.
What is the conductivity of free space?
The conductivity of free space, also known as vacuum permittivity, is approximately (8.854 \times 10^{-12} , \text{F/m}). It represents the ability of free space to transmit electric fields.
What particles are never present in an atom?
Particles that are never present in an atom include free electrons (outside the nucleus), neutrinos, and positrons. These particles do not form part of the structure of the atom itself.
An atom with 5 free electrons is said to be?
An atom with 5 free electrons is said to be pentavalent.
