Topic 3: Atoms and the Periodic Table Study Guide

The scientist responsible for "discovering" the nucleus is:

• Bohr
• Rutherford
• Schroedinger
• Einstein

John Dalton stated:

• elements are made of atoms
• atoms of a given element are identical
• atoms cannot be subdivided, created, nor destroyed
• all of the above

The nucleus of an atom can be described as:

• spacious and negatively charged
• dense and positively charged
• spacious and positively charged
• dense and negatively charged

Electrons are not factored into atomic mass because:

• They are so small their mass is negligible
• They're not in the nucleus
• They're too big
• They move so quickly their mass is zero

How did Rutherford discover the proton?

• Cathode tube ray experiment
• Gold Foil Experiment
• Planetary Model
• Plum Pudding Model

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

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

Who stated that atoms cannot be divided?

• Democritus
• Dalton
• Thomson
• Bohr

He discovered the electron using cathode ray tube experiment.

• Joseph Thomson
• John Dalton
• Ernest Rutherford
• Robert Millikan

He first measured the mass and charge of an electron using the oil drop experiment.

• Joseph Thomson
• Robert Millikan
• John Dalton
• Niels Bohr

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.
