when carrying out the alpha scattering experiment, he observed that some alpha particles got deflected from their course. as alpha particles are helium nuclei, they are positively charged. the fact that they deviate made him think that there might be some repulsion between the particles and the nucleus. as positive charges repel each other, he determined the nucleus to be positively charged.

How do you represent a negative Miller index?

The Miller index is a notation system for lattice structure in crystallography. By convention, a negative number isn't represented the same way as a negative integer in math (like "-3" for instance.) Instead, the negative sign simply goes above the integer, as a small bar.


What experiment didn't Rutherford preform and what did it lead him to figure out about atom?

Rutherford did not perform the experiment involving the discovery of the neutron, which was later done by James Chadwick in 1932. Instead, Rutherford's gold foil experiment revealed that atoms consist of a small, dense nucleus surrounded by mostly empty space, leading to the understanding that the nucleus contains positively charged protons. This foundational work paved the way for the development of the modern atomic model and the subsequent discovery of neutrons, which helped explain atomic mass and stability.


Are archaebacteria gram positive or gram negative?

Archaebacteria are neither gram positive nor gram negative because they do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls like bacteria. Instead, they have unique cell wall structures that make them distinct from both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.


How does the Rutherford model work?

The Rutherford model is a planetary model of the atom in which electrons orbit around a positively charged nucleus. It explains that most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus, and electrons move around it in specific orbits. This model was later refined to incorporate quantum mechanics and the understanding that electrons do not move in fixed orbits but instead exist in probabilistic regions known as orbitals.


Is counterstain a negative stain?

No, counterstain is not a negative stain. A counterstain is a secondary stain used in microscopy to color structures that were not stained by the primary stain, usually to provide contrast. Negative staining involves staining the background instead of the cells or structures of interest.

What is Ernest Rutherford's contributions to the atomic sturcture?

Rutherford's famous gold foil experiment disproved Thompson's "plum pudding" model of the atom, and instead suggested a small, central, positively charged region (the nucleus) surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.

Can reference angles be negative?

Certainly. A negative angle is simply clockwise instead of counterclockwise from the zero angle, but this is usually not indicated as such on a drawing.


What type of number is negative 64 squared?

The question is ambiguous. If you meant negative (64 squared), the value is -4096, which is a negative integer. If, instead, you meant (negative 64) squared, the value is +4096, a positive integer.
