Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford’s model of the atom? The atom is mostly empty space. The atom cannot be divided into smaller particles. Electron clouds are regions where electrons are likely to be found. The electrons are located within the positive material of the nucleus.

The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Before to Rutherford, the accepted model for the atom was Thomson's model:

The atoms were a positive sphere, with electrons occupying space in it".

This was called the "plum pudding model".

Then came Ernest Rutherford, and he created a model where the atoms are mostly empty space (void) with a positive charged nucleus (really compressed in the center), and the electrons were orbiting around it.

Then the correct option is that the atom is mostly empty space.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
