Answer from: Dreadpoolio1999

He conducted an experiment using gold foil and alpha particles.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford in 1911 performed the gold foil experiment which provided a better outlook to the structure of the atom. In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles. Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil and just a few was deflected back.

This observation led Rutherford to propose the nuclear model of the atom in which an atom has a small positively charged centre and electrons moving round it.

Answer from: bangbrokevo5685

He conducted an experiment using gold foil and alpha particles.

Explanation:

In his experiment he use the alpha particles (which are positive) emitted by a radioactive element. If Thomson's plum pudding model was correct, the beam would go straight through the gold foil. But the alpha particles were deflected in all directions, some right back at the source. This suggest that the atom's positive charge was concentrated in a much tinier volume than Thomson imagined

Answer from: Quest

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.

Answer from: Quest

the formula for the conversion of temperature from degree celsius to kelvin is:

$k = ^{o}c + 273.15$

the sample of water at $38^{o}c$ is converted to kelvin temperature by using the above formula as:

$k = 38^{o}c + 273.15 = 311.15 k$

on comparing the two samples of water at $38^{o}c$ or we can say that at $311.15 k$ and at $295 k$ respectively. the difference between the temperatures of two samples of water is:

$311.15 k - 295 k = 16.15 k$

hence, one can say that the sample of water at $38^{o}c$ is greater than the sample of water at $295 k$ by $16.15 k$ .
