Unit 1 Chemistry Test Review

In an atom, electrons move in definite orbits around the nucleus.

• Thomson
• Rutherford
• Bohr
• Democritus

What scientist is best known for his "Plum Pudding" model of the atom?

• J.J. Thomson
• Ernest Rutherford
• John Dalton
• Democritus

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

• negative and positive charges are spread evenly throughout the atom.
• alpha particles have a positive charge.
• gold is not a dense as previously thought.
• there is a dense positively charged nucleus at the center of an atom.

Who discovered the nucleus using the gold foil experiment?

• Democritus
• Robert Millikan
• James Chadwick
• Ernest Rutherford

How did each model of the atom help to develop the atomic theory? 

• Each model provided opinions that were added.
• Each model showed different properties of the same structure. 
• Each model showed new particles that had been discovered.
• Each model built upon the other to show new particles or properties of previously discovered particles. 

In a famous experiment conducted by Ernest Rutherford, positively charged alpha particles were scattered by a thin gold foil. Which of the following is a conclusion that resulted from this experiment?

• The nucleus is negatively charged

• The atom is a dense solid and is indivisible

• The mass is conserved when atoms react chemically

• The nucleus is very small and the atom is mostly empty space

Subatomic particles with a negative charge

• Electrons

• Neutrons

• Protons

• Quarks

Subatomic particles with a positive charge

• neutrons
• atomic mass
• protons
• isotopes
