Read the following passage. Before Rutherford conducted the gold foil experiment, the "plum pudding model proposed by J. J. Thomson offered an explanation for the structure of the atom.
Rutherford, along with two of his associates Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, performed an experiment in which an extremely thin metal foil was fired with a beam of
alpha particles. The results of the experiment were recorded accurately by another scientist who observed the frequency of alpha particles that passed through the
foil unobstructed.
Use information from the passage to justify whether the characteristics of reliable scientific explanations are present in the development of the atomic theory.

Ase your answer to this question on the information below.hydrocarbons and fissionable nuclei are among the sources used for the production of energy in the united states. a chemical reaction produces much less energy than a nuclear reaction per mole of reactant.the balanced chemical equation below represents the reaction of one molecule of a hydrocarbon with two molecules of oxygen.chemical equation: ch4 + 2o2 → co2 + 2h2o + 1.48 × 10−18 jthe nuclear equation below represents one of the many possible reactions for one fissionable nucleus. in this equation, x represents a missing product.nuclear equation: write an isotopic notation for the missing product represented by x in the nuclear equation.
