HELP! NEED AN ANSWER! ASAP what would have happened to the path of particles in Rutherford’s experiment if he had used a negatively charged particle instead of the positively charged alpha particles?

Initially, the balloon had 3.0 liters of gas at a pressure of 400 kpa and was at a temperature of 294 k. if the balloon is cooled to 277 k and its volume decreased to 1 l, what will the new pressure in the balloon be?

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.
