Separating unpaired electrons into as many orbitals as possible

• results in more valence electrons.

• produces a greater spin quantum number.

• minimizes the repulsion between electrons.

• places the electrons farther from the nucleus.

John Dalton thought that atoms (a)  

• cannot be broken down further
• contain molecules
• have no mass
• are all composed of carbon

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford conducted his now famous goldfoil experiment. During the experiment, alpha particles bombarded a thin piece of gold foil. The alpha particles were expected to pass easily through the gold foil. Every now and then, however, an alpha particle bounced back—an unexpected result. Rutherford concluded that these particles were striking

• a tiny region with a strong magnetic field.

• a tiny region of positive charge.

• a dense region of negative charge.

• a dense region of neutrons.
