- Who discovered the electron? Describe the experiment that led to the deduction that electrons are negatively charged particles.arrow_forwardThe Rutherford experiment was performed and its conclusions reached before protons and neutrons were discovered. When they were found, why was it believed that they were in the nucleus of the atom?arrow_forwardConsider Ernest Rutherfords -particle bombardment experiment illustrated in Fig. 2.12. How did the results of this experiment lead Rutherford away from the plum pudding model of the atom to propose the nuclear model of the atom?arrow_forward
- You have learned about three different models of the atom: Dalton’s model, Thomson’s model, and Rutherford’s model. What if Dalton was correct? What would Rutherford have expected from his experiments with the metal foil? What if Thomson was correct? What would Rutherford have expected from his experiments with the metal foil?arrow_forwardScientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?arrow_forwardWhich pair of elements do you expect to be most similar? a. Mg and Ca b. N and Cl c. Al and C d. S and Siarrow_forward
- According to Rutherfords model of the atom, how many electrons would be found in each of the following atoms? a. fluorine, which has 9 protons in its nucleus b. sulfur, which has 16 protons in its nucleusarrow_forwardYour friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forwardAccording to Rutherfords model of the atom, how many electrons would be found in each of the following atoms? a. sodium, which has 11 protons in its nucleus b. calcium, which has 20 protons in its nucleusarrow_forward
