What would happen if a tire made up of particles joined by ionic bonds struck pavement?

The wheels would stick to the pavement and would not move as it should. This is because an ionic bond is the force of attraction between oppositely charged particles and would cause the tires to be forcefully stuck on the ground

What causes particles of a solid to become arranged in a random manner?
I would guess that you are referring to Brownian motion. When a fine dust is spread on the surface of water you can observe the motion of the dust particles through a microscope as they are struck by water molecules.
What caused the deflection of the alpha particles in Rutherford's gold foil experiment?
The alpha particles scatter from the atomic nuclei in the gold foil. The repulsive electrostatic force between the nucleus and the alpha particle (because both are positively charged and like charges repel) deflects the alpha particle. Because of the large mass and (relatively) large energy of the alpha particles in Rutherford scattering experiments, the alpha particles are largely unaffected by the electrons in the gold atoms. More accurately, the scattering of the alpha particles from the electrons produces small angular deflections.Because the nucleus is small -- approximately 1/10000th the size of the whole atom -- most of the time the alpha particles will pass through the atom with little or no deflection. But occasionally, the alpha particles will start on a trajectory that, without the electrostatic deflection, would take them very close to the nucleus. In such cases, the electrostatic force produces a large angular deflection and can even scatter the alpha particles backwards. If the positive charge in the atom were distributed over the entire size of the atom, the likelihood of having such a large-angle scattering would be much smaller than it was (is) observed to be. Thus, the original experiments demonstrated that the positive charge in atoms is confined to a small region at the very center of an atom. Indeed, the data also provided an estimate of the size of the nucleus. More advanced analyses of such scattering experiments with modern equipment but using electron beams have provided detailed measurements of nuclear diameters for a wide range of atomic nuclei.
If the Thomson model of the atom had been correct Rutherford would have observed?
Before we state the results of the Rutherford gold foil experiment based on the correctness of the Thomson plum pudding model, let's back up and review just a bit. Atoms were thought to be made up of electrons distributed in a positive "matrix" of sorts. With the electrons "evenly distributed" throughout the volume of the atom, a parallel or comparison was made to plum pudding. The plums, which were "scattered" throughout the pudding, were thought of as the electrons in the atom. This is the basis for the plum pudding model of the atom. The gold foil experiment that Rutherford proposed was set up, and alpha particles were "fired" at gold foil from an alpha source (alpha emitter). As the alpha particles were known to be massive compared to an electron, an experiment on atoms conforming to the plum pudding model of the atom would show that the alpha particles zip right through. There would be nothing anywhere near as massive as an alpha particle in the plum pudding atom to stop or scatter them. All the alpha particles would strike the target screen behind the foil in a direct line from the source. When the experiment was actually conducted, most of the alpha particles struck as expected. But a few were scattered in different directions, and this was "impossible" if the atom was constructed as suggested by the plum pudding model. What internal structure in the plum pudding atom could possibly deflect (scatter) a few (or any!) alpha particles? The plum pudding model was set aside, and Rutherford's suggestion was that most of the mass of the atom was concentrated as a positive charge in the center in what we call a nucleus.
How would you describe the gold-foil experiment?
Geiger and Marsden, under Rutherford's direction, fired alpha particles at a very thin sheet of gold foil. They used a movable fluorescent screen to determine where the alpha particles went after passing through the foil. The screen emitted tiny flashes of light whenever an alpha particle struck it, so Rutherford and his team could see how the particles were being affected by the atoms they struck. Based on Thomson's model of the atom as a diffuse sphere of intermeshed positive and negative charge, Rutherford expected all of the alpha particles to pass through the gold foil with little or no scattering; indeed, they found that most of the particles passed straight through the foil, as if it weren't even there. In other words, the greatest number of flashes occurred when the screen was held directly behind the gold foil, in the path of the alpha particles. A tiny fraction of the particles, however, were reflected back toward the alpha emitter. From this Rutherford concluded that gold atoms must be mostly empty space, with tiny, dense, positively charged nuclei surrounded by extremely rarefied clouds of negative charge.
Does absorbance increase or decrease as the solution concentration of the substance increase?
The light is absorbed at a specific wavelength and this is because the electrons in the chemical bonds only absorb certain wavelengths of light. So, more concentration, more bonds and more electrons to absorb the light.
What happens to particles when lightning strikes?
They get struck by lightning.
In Rutherfords gold foil experiment shown in Figure 4-1 alpha particles that bounce straight back from the foil have struck in the gold atoms?
No, they struck the nucleus of the atom. Since the alpha particles are positively charged and nucleus is positively charged as well, they repelled each other and alpha particles are repelled back
