In 1909, a team of British scientists led by Ernest Rutherford, carried out the Gold Foil Experiment to determine the arrangement of particles in the atom. In this experiment, alpha particles were used to bombard gold foil.
a. Most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil undeflected. What conclusion was made about the structure of the atom based on this observation?
b. A few of the alpha particles were deflected back at the source and toward the screen. What did this observation reveal about the structure of the atom?
Write legibly.
Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen have 6, 7 and 8 protons in their nucleus. How many neutrons are in their nucleus as well, for the normal stable isotopes of these elements.
What are the components of an atom? How are they different?
