Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. One of the atomic models is shown below. A purple ball in the center surrounded by overlapping concentric black ovals, each with a small green ball on each of the 6 ovals. What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. The colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. Experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions. Cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

A few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

Explanation:

Rutherford's experiment took the search for the structure of the atom a step further. In this experiment, a narrow beam of alpha particles emitted from a source was used to bombard a thin gold foil.

The scattering of the alpha particles was detected by a movable ZnS screen. It was found that most of the alpha particles followed a straight path through the gold foil but some were scattered through large angles and some even scattered backwards.

Following this experiment, Rutherford decided on his planetary model of the atom in which the nucleus is at the core of the atom with electrons moving round the nucleus in orbits. Rutherford was awarded a Nobel prize for this work.

answer

i think the answer is a) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases.

hope it

beta decay is the answer
