- The 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_forwardWho discovered the electron? Describe the experiment that led to the deduction that electrons are negatively charged particles.arrow_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_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_forwardWrite isotope symbols for neutral atoms with the following characteristics: a. Contains 20 electrons and 20 neutrons b. Contains 1 electron and 2 neutrons c. A magnesium atom that contains 14 neutronsarrow_forwardExplain 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_forward
- What evidence led to the conclusion that cathode rays had a negative charge?arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook or notes, state as many points as you can of Dalton’s atomic theory. Explain in your own words each point of the theory.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by stating that the charge of an electron is 1? What is the symbol of the electron?arrow_forward
- Scientists 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_forwardA single molecule has a mass of 7.31 1023 g. Provide an example of a real molecule that can have this mass. Assume the elements that make up the molecule are made of light isotopes where the number of protons equals the number of neutrons in the nucleus of each element.arrow_forwardIt is good practice to actively read the textbook and to try to verify claims that are made when you can. The following claim is made in your textbook: “. . . if the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be about 1 mile away on average.” Provide mathematical support for this statement.arrow_forward
