What has rock spaces that allow water to sink in?

Porous rock formations, such as limestone or sandstone, contain spaces within their structure that allow water to sink in. These spaces, known as pore spaces, enable water to flow through and be absorbed by the rock.


Why are Insulating materials contain spaces with air?

Insulating materials contain spaces with air because air is a poor conductor of heat compared to solid materials. These air pockets help to reduce heat transfer through conduction and convection, making the insulating material more effective at keeping warmth in or out.


What was the fate of the vast majority of alpha particles in rutherford's gold-foil experiment?

The vast majority of alpha particles passed through the gold foil without being deflected, as the atom is mostly empty space. However, a small fraction of alpha particles were deflected at large angles, indicating the presence of a dense, positively charged nucleus in the atom.


How did ernest Rutherford discover the atom?

Ernest Rutherford develop the idea that the atom has nucleus by using gold foil and alpha particles. Basically He shot the poistive laser to the gold foil which contains positive and negitive, and he saw the reflection of it and it tells us that there is positive charge to reflect positive laser with is proton. J.J Thomson already discover the electron, who has negative charge. Then Rutherford figured out the nucleus is positive.


Why gold foil is used in Rutherford's scattering experiment?

Because it was something they could get very thin. They wanted to see how atoms interacted with each other... because if some got through and some didn't it would mean there were a lot of spaces between the atoms, but if the foil was too thick it would defeat the purpose.
