Five friends looked at a piece of aluminum foil. They wondered what they would see if they could see inside an atom of aluminum.

This is what they said: Jeb: I think it would look like a tiny, dense ball with tiny particles tightly packed inside it. Jane: I think there would be a tiny, dense center surrounded by a lot of empty space where some particles are whizzing around. Hal: I think there would be a large center made up mostly of empty space wit particles whizzing around in it. It would be surrounded by a dense shell. Pick the friend that you agree with and explain why you agree. Be sure to include the friends' name and factual information to back up your explanation. Attachments

The answer is; Jane would be right.

The atom was discovered be more of empty space. The mass of an atom is mainly attributed to the mass of the nucleus which occupies a very small fraction of the size of the atom. The nucleus is Located in the center surrounded by orbiting electrons.  

The Geiger–Marsden experiment, where alpha particles are accelerated onto a thin aluminum foil proved this theory by Ernest Rutherford. Some of the particles were deflected by the foil and this was attributed to the dense nucleus of the aluminum atoms in the foil. The other particles passed through because most of the atoms are made of empty space.

Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - observation.

Explanation:

Scientists like Si-Ling Chi, Aristotle, and Mary Anning developed  various scientific processes and made discoveries that shaped the history of the world. such discoveries are discoveries related to silkworms and how to make cloth from their cocoons by Si-Ling Chi, developing the scientific method by Aristotle and  Contribution to the field of paleontology greatly by Mary Anning.

All these scientists had a different type of skill and ability and one of the skills they had a strong power of observing the things or phenomenon work and many more other aspects of the scientific process.

what types of minerals are good conductors of electricity, are strong and can be formed into various shaped and sized products w
Sidana [21]

Minerals which are good conductors of electricity are described below.

Explanation:

  • metals tend to be highly efficient conductors of heat and electricity. The vast majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and most of these fall into one of five families: alkali metals; alkaline earth metals; the very large transition metals family; and the inner transition metal families, known as the lanthanides and actinides.
  • Metals are lustrous or shiny in appearance, and malleable or ductile, meaning that they can be molded into different shapes without breaking. Despite their ductility, metals are extremely durable and have high melting and boiling points. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions by losing electrons.
