• The "Quantum Mechanical Model" of the atom

Multiple Choice

JJ Thomson's experiment that he used to discover electrons

• gold foil experiment

• cathode ray experiment

• neither of these is correct

Multiple Choice

In the gold foil experiment, most of the positively charged alpha particles passed through the gold foil, but some were deflected or bounced back.  What did we conclude because of this?  

• Atoms are small indivisible spheres
• Atoms are mostly empty space with a small, dense, positive center
• Atoms have negatively charged particles which orbit the nucleus
• Light is a wave, not a particle

Multiple Choice

Rutherford's experiment that he used to discover protons and the nucleus.

• gold foil experiment

• cathode ray experiment

• neither of these is correct

Multiple Choice

The Rutherford experiment concluded that

• All alpha particles fired through the gold foil

• The electron cloud is large and positively charged

• An atom barely has any empty spaces

• The nucleus is tiny and heavy compared to the rest of an atom

Multiple Choice

Rutherford referred to the center of the atom, where the mass was concentrated, as _____

• the kernel
• the nucleus
• the focus
• the heart

Multiple Choice

Why did Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues perform the Gold-Foil Experiment?

• They wanted to test and confirm the Plum-Pudding model

• They wanted to test John Dalton's Model

Multiple Choice

Based on Rutherford's model of the atom, electrons in the atom are located

• inside of the nucleus of the atom

• outside and around the nucleus of the atom

• outside and inside of the nucleus of the atom

Multiple Choice

What results did Rutherford observe in his Gold-Foil experiment?

• He observed that all alpha particles did go through a gold-foil in straight lines

• He observed that most alpha particles did not go through a gold-foil and stopped on one side of the gold foil.

• He observed that a small number of alpha particles bounced off the gold-foil at very large angles

• He observed that all alpha particles slightly deflected from the straight line when going through a gold-foil

Multiple Choice

Rutherford's gold foil experiment provided evidence that...
