Which statements accurately describe ernest rutherford’s experiment? check all that apply.
the positively charged particles were deflected because like charges repel.
the positively charged particles were deflected because opposite charges attract.
the positively charged particles were deflected by the electron.
the positively charged particles were deflected by the proton.
the positively charged particles were deflected because the positive charge in the atom was concentrated.
the positively charged particles were deflected because the positive charge in the atom was scattered throughout the atom.

The correct answers are statements 1st, 4th and 5th.

Explanation:

The main observations of Ernest Rutherford's experiments are:

a. The majority of the positively charged particles passed straight through, which signifies that there is a vacant space present in the atom.  

b. However, some of the positively charged particles retraced their path.  

The deflection of the positively charged particles takes place as the like charges repel, and this shows that they got deflected by the protons. It was also found that approximately all the positive charges got concentrated in a very small section within the atom, known as nucleus.  

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
