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 scientist responsible for "discovering" the nucleus is:

• Bohr
• Rutherford
• Schroedinger
• Einstein

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
