At 25 °C the density of heavy water, $\ce{^{2}H2O(l)}$, is $1.11\ \mathrm{g\,cm^{-3}}$, while the density of ordinary water, $\ce{^{1}H2O(l)}$, is $1.00\ \mathrm{g\,cm^{-3}}$. Which statement explains this difference? A. Each $\ce{^{2}H}$ nucleus contains one…

In the Geiger–Marsden experiment, α-particles (the nuclei of helium-4 atoms) were fired at a very thin foil of silver. A detector that could be moved around the foil recorded the angle of deflection, θ, of the particles. Two of the possible routes are shown:…

Outline why the scientific model of the atom has been modified several times since it was first proposed.
