After rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles, he concluded that the volume of an atom is mostly empty space. which observation led rutherford to this conclusion? 1) some of the alpha particles deflected 180 degrees 2) the paths of deflected alpha particles were hyperbolic 3) many alpha particles were absorbed by gold nuclei 4) most of the alpha particles were not deflected

Which statements describe polyatomic ions? check all that apply. polyatomic ions have many charges. polyatomic ions have one overall charge. polyatomic ions repel other ions to form ionic bonds. polyatomic ions attract other ions to form ionic bonds. polyatomic ions are made up of only one type of atom. polyatomic ions are made up of two or more types of atoms.

Astudent made a graph plotting the progress of a reaction over time. the student forgot to label the y-axis of the graph. a graph is shown with two graph lines. one graph line starts at a higher position on the y axis and slopes downwards towards the right. the other graph line starts at a lower position on the y axis and slopes upwards towards the right. the two graph lines stop short of intersecting each other and continue as separate lines which gradually become straight and parallel to the x axis. a vertical line is shown at a point where the two graph lines finally became parallel to the x axis. this vertical line is labeled equilibrium. the title on the x axis is time and an arrow pointing towards the right is shown above time. the title on the y axis is left blank. what best explains the label that the student should use on the y-axis? amount, because as the amount of product decreases, the amount of reactant increases over time. reaction rate, because forward and backward reaction become equal at equilibrium. amount, because the amounts of reactants and products become constant after equilibrium is reached. reaction rate, as the rate of forward reaction increases and rate of backward reaction decreases over time.
