Cordelia researched Ernest Rutherford's experiments. Read her summary below and find the error.

Rutherford's experiment showed the positively charged particles were only deflected by a small percentage of the atoms. If the positive charge in the atom was spread throughout the atom, this could not happen. This meant that the atom must be composed mostly of solid positive particles. (2 points)
Error is in sentence 1. Experiments showed that only a few atoms deflected negatively charged particles.
Error is in sentence 2. If the neutral charge was spread through the atom, this could not happen.
Error is in sentence 3. The atom must be composed mostly of empty space.
Error is in sentence 1. Positively charged particles were deflected by a high percentage of atoms.

The experiment was repeated many years later but the gases were mixed in a different type of container. a white solid was obtained which was xenon fluoride. predict whether you think 1) krypton and 2) radon will react with fluorine. explain reasons for your predictions

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
