Question

4. a)How did Rutherford come to the conclusion that most of
the space in an atom is empty?
b.) Why do isotopes of an element show similar
chemical properties?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 Rutherford concluded from his metal foil experiments that most of an atom is empty spacewith a tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus at the center that contains most of the mass of the atom. He also concluded that the electrons orbit the nucleus like the planets orbit the sun.

2Chemical properties depend on the electronic configuration of an atom. Since, isotopes of an element have same atomic number or number of electrons or more precisely same electronic configuration hence, isotopes of an element show similar chemical properties.
