Respuesta :
- The volume of the a hydrogen atom cannot be primarily attributable to the proton since, in accordance with Rutherford's nuclear theory, the majority of an atom's volume is EMPTY SPACE.
- - The majority of both the mass of such a fluorine atom cannot be attributed to its nine electrons since, in accordance with Rutherford's nuclear theory, an atom's core (or nucleus), which is POSITIVELY CHARGED, comprises the majority of the atom's mass.
What is Rutherford's nuclear theory?
- Ernest Rutherford, a scientist from New Zealand, developed the Rutherford model, also know as the Rutherford atomic model, nuclear atom, or planetary model of the atom, in 1911.
- According to the idea, an atom has a tiny, compact, positively charged center called a nucleus, where most of the mass is concentrated, while light, negatively charged particles called electrons orbit far around it, much like planets orbit the Sun.
- To describe the dispersion of alpha particles from thin strips of gold as shown in a series of experiments carried out by student Ernest Marsden in 1909 under the guidance of Rutherford & German physicist Hans Geiger, the nucleus was hypothesized to be tiny and dense.
