Rutherford’s Atomic Model NCERT Chemistry Class 11 Online Notes

Rutherford’s Atomic Model NCERT Chemistry Class 11 Online Notes

α-Ray scattering experiment
In this experiment, a stream of α particle from a radioactive source was directed on a thin (about 0.00004 cm thick) piece of gold foil. According to Thomson’s model, it was expected that the alpha particles would just pass straight through the gold foil and could be detected by a photographic plate placed behind the foil. But the actual results of the experiment were quite surprising. It was observed that:
(i) Most of the α-particles passed straight through the gold foil.
(ii) Some of the α-particles were deflected by small angles.
(iii) A few particles were deflected by large angles.
(iv) About 1 in every 12000 particles experienced a rebound.
The results of α-ray scattering experiment were explained by Rutherford in 1911 and another model of the atom was proposed. According to Rutherford’s model, an atom contains a dense and positively charged region located at its centre; it was called as the nucleus, all the positive charge of an atom and most of its mass was contained in the nucleus. The rest of an atom must be empty space which contains the much smaller and negatively charged electrons.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
