ernest rutherford discovered what structure detail about the atom?

a. negative charge is concentrated in the center of the atom

b. positive charge is concentrated in the center of the atom

c. atoms are mostly negative charge with positive atoms mixed throughout

d. atoms are mostly positive charge with negative atoms mixed throughout

b. positive charge is concentrated in the center of the atom

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted a series of experiments together with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden; in order to corroborate Thomson's plum pudding atomic model (positive and negative charges evenly distributed in the atom).  

However the results of the experiment led him to find out there is a concentration of positive charge in the atom's core (which was later called nucleus) surrounded by electrons. This lead to a new atomic model, in which the atom has a positive charged nucleus surrounded by negative charged particles that move similar to the orbit of the planet around the Sun.

So, according to this model, atoms are mostly empty space with a positively charged core.

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
