Thomson concluded that atoms contain negatively charged particles called electrons.

Thomson concluded that atoms are indivisible and cannot be broken down further.

Thomson concluded that atoms are made only of positive charges.

Thomson concluded that atoms do not contain any subatomic particles.

Describe one conclusion made by each scientist that led to the development of the current atomic theory. b. Millikan

Millikan determined the charge of the electron through his oil-drop experiment.

Millikan identified the proton as a fundamental particle.

Describe one conclusion made by each scientist that led to the development of the current atomic theory.

Rutherford concluded that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus.

Rutherford concluded that electrons are found in fixed orbits around the nucleus.

Rutherford concluded that atoms are indivisible and indestructible.

Rutherford concluded that atoms contain negatively charged particles called neutrons.

Compare the three subatomic particles in terms of location in the atom, mass, and relative charge.

Protons are located in the nucleus, have a positive charge, and a mass of 1 amu. Neutrons are also in the nucleus, have no charge, and a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are found outside the nucleus, have a negative charge, and a negligible mass.

Protons are found outside the nucleus, have a negative charge, and a mass of 1 amu. Neutrons are in the nucleus, have a positive charge, and a mass of 0 amu. Electrons are in the nucleus, have no charge, and a mass of 1 amu.

Protons are in the nucleus, have no charge, and a mass of 0 amu. Neutrons are outside the nucleus, have a positive charge, and a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are in the nucleus, have a negative charge, and a mass of 1 amu.

Protons are outside the nucleus, have a positive charge, and a negligible mass. Neutrons are in the nucleus, have a negative charge, and a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are in the nucleus, have no charge, and a mass of 1 amu.

What is it about the composition of the nucleus that requires the concept of nuclear forces?

The nucleus contains positively charged protons that would naturally repel each other due to electrostatic forces. Nuclear forces are required to overcome this repulsion and hold the protons and neutrons together.

The nucleus contains only neutrons, which do not interact with each other, so nuclear forces are needed to create any interaction.

The nucleus is made up of electrons and protons, and nuclear forces are needed to keep electrons inside the nucleus.

The nucleus is unstable due to the presence of only protons, so nuclear forces are needed to add electrons to stabilize it.
