Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false.

(a) rutherford's bombardment experiments with metal foil suggested that the alpha particles were being deflected by coming near a large, negatively charged atomic nucleus. true false

(b) the proton and the electron have similar masses, but opposite electrical charges. false true

(c) most atoms also contain neutrons, which are slightly heavier than protons but carry no charge. false true

the correct answer is answer a. a mixture

no other options make sense

hope this

have a great day : )

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
