Interpretation:
The main features of Dalton’s model of atom have to be listed.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Features of Dalton’s Model of Atom:
- 1) Elements are made up of minute, indivisible particles known as atoms.
- 2) Atoms of the same element are similar in mass and size.
- 3) Atoms of different elements have different masses and sizes.
- 4) Chemical compounds are formed by the combination of two or more atoms of different elements.
- 5) Atoms combine to form compounds in simple numerical ratios.
- 6) Atoms of two elements may combine in multiple ratios to form more than one compound.

- hat questions were left unanswered by Rutherford’s experiments?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_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_forward
- What is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?arrow_forwardHow does Daltons atomic theory account for the Law of Conservation of Mass?arrow_forwardHow can we account for the fact that most of the alpha particles in the Rutherford scattering experiment passed directly through a solid sheet of gold?arrow_forward
- Explain the operation of a cathode-ray tube. Describe the deflection of cathode rays by electrically charged plates placed within the cathode-ray tube. What does this imply about cathode rays?arrow_forwardWho discovered the electron? Describe the experiment that led to the deduction that electrons are negatively charged particles.arrow_forwardDescribe the activity of electrons according to the planetary model of the atom that appeared after the Rutherford scattering experiment.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_forwardOne of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. How does this apply to Dalton’s atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forwardWhat evidence led to the conclusion that cathode rays had a negative charge?arrow_forward
