a)

Thomson

b)

Bohr

c)

11.

All scientists after Thopson placed (a)   on the outside of the atom because they were easily removed from matter.

12.

Which are two valid reasons Chadwick looked for another nuclear particle (aside from the proton)?

a)

The positive protons needed negative neutrons to stick them together.

b)

The positive protons needed neutral neutrons to stick them together.

c)

The mass of the atom was only made up of 1/3 protons and 1/3 electrons - 1/3 was missing.

d)

The mass of the atom was made up of 1/2 protons. Since electrons are too small to account for any mass, 1/2 of the mass is missing.
