Question
Chapter 3, Problem 123CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The percent composition by isotope of the gas mixture needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: When in a gas mixture discharge voltage is high, ions are present as separate atoms as enough energy is available to break the bonds. On the other side, when voltage is low, they are present in molecular form.

In the early 1900s, Ernest Rutherford produceda beam of very small positive particles and directed it at a thinpiece of gold foil just a few atoms thick. Most of the particlespassed through the foil without changing their path; very rarely, aparticle was deflected. What conclusions can you draw from thisexperiment about the structure of an atom?
