Chemistry: Precision and Design - Quiz 4 (Sections 2.3-2.4)

During a science fair, Lily set up an experiment where she shot tiny balls at a thin sheet of gold foil, expecting them to pass straight through. What unexpected observation did Lily make that led her to question the existing model of the atom?

• The foil allowed the balls to pass through.

• The foil absorbed the balls.

• The foil reflected some balls back.

• The foil neutralized the balls.
