How did rutherford’s atomic model fix the shortcomings of thomson’s atomic model? a. rutherford’s model showed that electrons orbit the nucleus with distinct radii. b. rutherford’s model showed that the positive charge is concentrated in a small area. c. rutherford’s model proved that electrons are dispersed in a cloud of positive charge. d. rutherford’s model showed that electrons behave according to the wave theory. e. rutherford’s model proved that much of the atom consists mostly of empty space. more than one right answer

The correct options are b and e.

Explanation:

Thomson's model was generally known as plum pudding model which says that the electrons are distributed in an atom which is similar to the plum present in pudding.

Rutherford's model was known as the gold-foil experiment. In this experiment, he bombarded alpha particles to an atom. He thought that the particles will directly pass through the atom because it has a lot of empty space in it. But to his surprise, he found that some of the particles reflected their path and some directly reflected their way. As the alpha particles carry +2 charge and positive charges repel each other. Hence, he concluded that the atom has a positive charge which is concentrated in a small area.

Hence, the correct statements are b and e.

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

answer

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